Normal Random number generation

I want to generate random numbers from a standard normal distribution with decreasing standard deviation that lies between 0 and 1. First, what is meant by decreasing standard deviation? Secondly, randn generates normal distribution random numbers. But how to limit them between 0 and 1?

Decreasing standard deviation would result in an algorithm with similarities to Simulated Annealing.

My interpretation is that the normal distribution is to be unbounded, not restricted to the range [0 1], but that the standard deviation used is to start and 1 and decrease to 0. For example,
SD = linspace(1, 0, 20)
results = randn(1,20) .* SD
That would give you 20 results with stand deviation decreasing from 1 to 0.
As for why... I don't know?
