You can use Apply[Sequence, #]& to blow away the list structure. Here is an
example.
In[1]:=
mat = Table[Table[0, {5}], {5}]
Out[1]=
{{0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0,
0, 0}}
In[2]:=
mat[[Sequence @@ {3, 3}]] = 1
Out[2]=
1
In[3]:=
mat
Out[3]=
{{0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0,
0, 0}}
