MATLAB: Store a double value into the cell array element

Question

I have a cell array, e.g

name={'A','B','C'};

I would like to extract the name elements and use them as variables, we know that,

name{1}=A

I want to assign 'A' a double value or vector;

name{1}=[1 2 3]; % this one is definitely wrong, it is just for example

then when i call A from the command-window, it should show [1 2 3]; is it possible to do that?

appreciate ur help

You'd need to use eval, but there's almost always a good reason not to do what you're trying to do.
