Oliver,
The Mathematica Help Browser would tell you, that "_ or Blank[ ] is a
pattern object that can stand for any Mathematica expression. ..." It
is not the sign for subscripts.
Have a look at "Add-ons" -> "Extra Utilities" -> "Notation" (also in the
online help) instead. It should be possible to link the Expression
SubscriptBox["A", "0"] to A[[1]] an so on. Please note: A[[0]] is the
head of expression A (in this case "List").
