Here is a functional approach to solve your problem. matArray contains
the whole set (512 elements) of 3 by 3 matrices made of entries either 0
or 1. Then, you can access any element of the list with one or more
indices, either fixed or randomly generated.
In[1]:=
matArray = (Partition[#1, 3] & ) /@ Tuples[{0, 1}, 9];
matArray[[15]]
matArray[[Table[Random[Integer, {1, 512}], {2}]]]
Out[2]=
{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0}}
Out[3]=
{{{0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 1}},
{{0, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 1}, {1, 1, 1}}}
