A work-around which I have been using even in old versions of octave
involves a line like

  a(a<0.3) = S(a<0.3);

where "S" is a matrix of substitute values of the same size as "a".

E.g.

  U = ones(size(a)); N = zeros(size(a));
  a=rand(4,4);
%%  b=find(a<0.3);
%%  c=find(a>0.7);
%%  a(b)=0;
%%  a(c)=1;
  a(a<0.3) = N(a<0.3);
  a(a>0.7) = U(a>0.7);

Apparently this also works in MatLab in the same way.
