There are no "columns" in A and A is not a matrix...
>> A = @(x) [x , x^2, x^3; 2*x, 2*x^2, 2*x^3]
A =
@(x)[x,x^2,x^3;2*x,2*x^2,2*x^3]

As shown, A is a single function handle despite it defining a function that returns a 2D matrix when executed.
You either create a new function handle as desired or, in a more roundabout way, convert to a string representation and edit on the string and then redefine the handle from that new string via func2str
You can, of course, create an array of function handles and treat each element within as the above single handle and rewrite individual elements inside such. NB: however, they must be cell arrays.
>> B=[@(x) 1, @(x) x, @(x) x^2]
Error using horzcat
Nonscalar arrays of function handles are not allowed; use cell arrays instead.
>> B={@(x) 1, @(x) x, @(x) x^2}
B =
@(x)1 @(x)x @(x)x^2
>> whos B
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
B 1x3 228 cell
>>
Also note, now the array is simply a cell array, just so happens the cell content is a set of function handles.
