Richard,

This has to be wrapped up in a program, right?

Something like this:

program foo, eclass
	tempname bmat
	matrix `bmat' = e(b)
	matrix `bmat'[1,1] = 122
	ereturn repost b = `bmat'
end


. clear

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. qui reg price mpg weight

. matrix list e(b)

e(b)[1,3]
           mpg      weight       _cons
y1  -49.512221   1.7465592   1946.0687

. foo

. matrix list e(b)

e(b)[1,3]
          mpg     weight      _cons
y1        122  1.7465592  1946.0687
