Tomas, Jeevan,
Another way to replace submatrices:
bigMat={{7,0,7,2,5,4,6},{2,2,4,9,2,9,0},{5,2,5,6,3,4,8},{0,3,9,9,8,0,0},{0,7
,
2,6,1,8,2},{8,5,5,7,5,7,0}};
smallMat={{3, 1, 2}, {5, 1, 9}};
(bigMat[[{1,2},{2,3,4}]]= smallMat;bigMat)/
{{7,3,1,2,5,4,6},{2,5,1,9,2,9,0},{5,2,5,6,3,4,8},{0,3,9,9,8,0,0},{0,7,2,6,1,
8,
2},{8,5,5,7,5,7,0}}
Or, if we don't wish to change the value of bigMat
bigMat={{7,0,7,2,5,4,6},{2,2,4,9,2,9,0},{5,2,5,6,3,4,8},{0,3,9,9,8,0,0},{0,7
,
2,6,1,8,2},{8,5,5,7,5,7,0}};
Block[{bm= bigMat},bm[[{1,2},{2,3,4}]]= smallMat;bm]
{{7,3,1,2,5,4,6},{2,5,1,9,2,9,0},{5,2,5,6,3,4,8},{0,3,9,9,8,0,0},{0,7,2,6,1,
8,
2},{8,5,5,7,5,7,0}}
