Try

Array[b, 10];

For[i = 1, i <= 10, b[i] = i/10; i++]

Give Mathematica a chance. Yes, you can keep your programing paradigm, but 
from you previous question on Do loops you should consider other 
alternatives to list building that are purely functional. You are going to 
get frustrated with Mathematica abandon it at this rate. If your just 
playing fine; but consider the help file and consider your goal. It is 
sometimes better to ask how do I accomplish this with Mathematica as opposed 
to specific sub task. Your approach may need some tweaking.
