The following example shows how to create multiple variables X_1, …X_5 with assigning values to them.
var = 'X_';
vari = cell(50,1);
for i = 1:50  
      vari(i) = {[var num2str(i)]};
end
for i = 1:50  %assign values to the variables for example X_i = 25*i
      assignin('base', vari{i}, 25*i);
end
