Dear Minghua Yao,

Commands of the form AA[, i] <- A do indeed work, although the number of 
elements in the i-th row of AA has to be a multiple of the number of 
elements in A. Perhaps you can specify in more detail what it is that you 
want to do and the nature of the error that you encountered.

I hope that this helps,
  John
