I hope I understood your problem correctly. Take e.g. matrix matA (5 x 4):

In[70]:=
matA = {{1, 4, 3, 2, -1}, {1, 1, 2, 7, 4},
    {9, 3, 3, 4, 7}, {-3, -2, 1, 3, 5}};

Suppose you want to multiply (term by term) row 1 by row 4, and replace row
1 by the result:

 In[1]:=
matA[[1]] = matA[[1]]*matA[[4]]
Out[2]=
{-3, -8, 3, 6, -5}

Then, in general,


In[3]:=
matA = {matA[[1]]*matA[[4]], matA[[2]]*matA[[4]],
   matA[[3]], matA[[4]]}
Out[3]=
{{-3,-8,3,6,-5},{-3,-2,2,21,20},{9,3,3,4,7},{-3,-2,1,3,5}}
