So i put in these commands

Q=Range[10];
size[group_]=Length[group];
metareplace[group_] := (group[[Random[Integer, {1, size[group]}]]] =
hubl[metacommunity]);
(*takes random element of community size and replaces it with random
element of metacommunity by way of the function hubl[group_]*)
 metareplace[Q]


and get this error message

Set::setps: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} in assignment of part is
not a symbol

looking at the help menu only confuses me further. can anyone tell me
in layman's terms what the messages means?
thanks
