Getting symbols out of list returned by solve

This may be really simple but I am having trouble setting the
variables to the values returned by solve.  If
solution={S0 -> 0,S1 -> 5....}the numbers of S# are subscripts
I can get to the idivdual parts with 
solution[[1]][[1]] and solution[[1]][[2]] but when I try to set the
one equal to the other I get this error
Set::"setps": solution[[1]] in assignment of part is not a symbol."
What is going on and how can I fix this?
