MATLAB: Copy values from a vector to a matrix

copyMATLABmatrixvector

i have a problem trying to replace (copy) values from a vector to a matrix. So given this matrix
 1     1     1
 1     1     1
 1     1     1
 0     0     1
 0     0     1
 0     0     1
the plan is to copy values from this vector V=[0;10;20;30;40;50;60;70;80;90;100;110;120] starting from 10 ,V(2), into columns of the above matrix , to obtain this:
     10     40     70
     20     50     180
     30     60     190
     0      0      100
     0      0      110
     0      0      120

sami - if
 A = [1     1     1
      1     1     1
      1     1     1
      0     0     1
      0     0     1
      0     0     1];
and
 V = [0;10;20;30;40;50;60;70;80;90;100;110;120];
then try
 A(A>0) = V(2:end);
In the above, A>0 returns a logical matrix of ones and zeros where a one indicates that the element of A is greater than zero (as per our condition) and zero indicates that the element of A is less than or equal to zero. A(A>0) is then just those non-zero elements of A. We then assign all of the non-zero values of V (so from index two onwards) to those elements of A that are non-zero.
