Trying to use ReplacePart

Hi!

I needed some days ago to replace elements in a matrix. My first
thought was to use ReplacePart, but I found myself trying to tell it
to make all replacements at once, instead of returning multiple copies
of the original matrix with only one element changed. As I was in a
hurry, I solved the problem in a different way. However I'm still
wondering how can I use a more "natural" code to solve this problem.


nNum = 3;
nQnum = 2;

cNum = 2^(nNum - nQnum);
cQnum = 2^(nNum - 1);

list = Table[i, {i, 1, cQnum}];
list1 = Partition[list, cNum];
matrix = ConstantArray[0, {cQnum, cQnum}];
matrix1 = RandomInteger[{1, 10}, {2^nNum, 2^nNum}]


(matrix[[#[[1]], #[[2]]]] =
     matrix1[[
cNum*Position[list1, #[[1]]][[1, 1]] + #[[1]], cNum*Position[list1,
#[[2]]][[1, 1]] + #[[2]]]]) & /@ Tuples[{list, list}];


or a faster solution,

Table[matrix[[i, j]] =
   matrix1[[
cNum*Position[list1, i][[1, 1]] + i, cNum*Position[list1, j][[1, 1]] +
j]], {i, 1, cQnum}, {j, 1,cQnum}];
