vid = 'NameOfTheVideo.avi';
obj = VideoReader(vid);
newobj = VideoWriter('NameOfNewVideo.avi', 'Uncompressed AVI');
replacement_frame_5 = randi([0 255], 256, 256, 3, 'uint8'); %or as appropriate
fr = 0;
while hasFrame(obj)
fr = fr + 1;
a = readFrame(obj);
if fr == 5
a = replacement_frame_5;
end
writeVideo(newobj, a);
end
close(newobj);
clear obj

It is not possible to play a video writer object. Once the video writer object is closed, use one of the techniques to play the video by name. Or create a video player object and step(player, a) as you go through outputting the frames to the video writer object.
