Karthik,

I think these show you how to do it:

In[12]:= 
SampleList3D={{{-1,2},{0,1},{3,4}},{{-3,-2},{-1.5,2.5},{0.5,-.75}}}

Out[12]= {{{-1,2},{0,1},{3,4}},{{-3,-2},{-1.5,2.5},{0.5,-0.75}}}

In[18]:= Map[Append[#,5]&,SampleList3D,{2}]

Out[18]= 
{{{-1,2,5},{0,1,5},{3,4,5}},{{-3,-2,5},{-1.5,2.5,5},{0.5,-0.75,5}}}

In[19]:= ReplacePart[%,{2,2,3}->3]

Out[19]= 
{{{-1,2,5},{0,1,5},{3,4,5}},{{-3,-2,5},{-1.5,2.5,3},{0.5,-0.75,5}}}
