Hello, You might try these:

 mat = RandomInteger[{0, 10}, {5, 7}];
 mat // MatrixForm
 AddRow[mat_?MatrixQ, row_List] := Join[mat, {row}]
 AddRow[mat, {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}] // MatrixForm

 AddColumn[mat_?MatrixQ, column_List] :=
  Transpose[Join[Transpose[mat], {column}]]
 AddColumn[mat, {a, b, c, d, e}] // MatrixForm

 No checking here or matching dimensions, but that could be built in easily.
