Just use
a=a(1:end-1)
to remove the last value.

a = [10, 14, 5, 6, 7, 19];
r = zeros(size(a)); % Pre-allocate maximal length
ri = 0;
q = 0;
for k = 1:length(a)
q = q + a(k); % Accumulate values of "a"
if q >= 15 % Flush accumulated value:
ri = ri + 1;
r(ri) = q;
q = 0;
end
end
r = r(1:ri); % Crop unused values

@kpreet: Is this a serious question? What about adding this line at the end:
a = r;
Or you can do it "inplace", but the modifications are such tiny (changing all "r" to "a" and "ri" to "ai"), that I'd actually assume, that you could solve this by your own:
a = [10, 14, 5, 6, 7, 19];
ai = 0;
q = 0;
for k = 1:length(a)
q = q + a(k); % Accumulate values of "a"
if q >= 15 % Flush accumulated value:
ai = ai + 1;
a(ai) = q;
q = 0;
end
end
a = a(1:ai); % Crop unused values
It would be a kind idea to explain, if at least the values of "r" match your expectations.
