How to manually modify weights in a SeriesNetwork?

For some of my studies on deep neural nets, I need to change select weights in a (previously trained) SeriesNetwork by hand, and evaluate changes in the classification results. Ideally, I would like to do
net.Layers(k).Weights = W;
where net is a SeriesNetwork (a class in the Neural Network Toolbox), k is an integer that indexes a fully connected layer, and W is a suitable array. I would then classify inputs with the net modified in this way.
However, the field net.Layers(k).Weights is read-only, so the instruction above will generate the following error message:
You cannot set the read-only property 'Layers' of SeriesNetwork.
Is there some way to circumvent this restriction?
Here is what I tried, to no avail: First define an array of Layers by saying something like this:
layers = [imageInputLayer([28 28 1])
% Severa layers here
classificationLayer()];
then initialize the weights as desired, and finally make these layers into a SeriesNetwork with the class’s constructor:
net = SeriesNetwork(layers);
While this does create a new SeriesNetwork, attempting to classify an input with
y = classify(net, x);
where x is a suitable input results in the following error message:
Error using nnet.internal.cnn.layer.FullyConnected/forwardPropagateSize (line 99)
An input size for the layer must be defined in order to call forwardPropagateSize.
Error in SeriesNetwork>iDetermineLayerOutputSize (line 417)
inputSize = layers{i}.forwardPropagateSize(inputSize);
Error in SeriesNetwork/get.OutputSize (line 80)
val = iDetermineLayerOutputSize( internalLayers, outputLayerIdx );
Error in SeriesNetwork/predict (line 185)
Y = precision.cast( zeros([this.OutputSize dispatcher.NumObservations]) );
Error in SeriesNetwork/classify (line 250)
scores = this.predict( X, varargin{:} );
What is missing in my use of the constructor to make net a fully-fledged SeriesNetwork that can be used with classify?

You can covert the trained NN to an object and it is a possible way, which I had test for it.
modify_able_NN = NN.saveobj;
% Changes made in NN
Modified_NN = NN.loadobj(modify_able_NN);

Ran in:
The above code does not work for me. Trying to access the saveobj method in a shallow neural network returns the following errors: "Switch expression must be a scalar or a character vector". Any suggestion?
Code to reproduce:
myNN = feedforwardnet(10);
modifiableNN= myNN.saveobj
SWITCH expression must be a scalar or a character vector.

Error in indexing (line 173)
switch (subs)

Hi Carlo,
Please see the following image to understand how the weights of various layers are stored in MATLAB.
It is stored as a cell array of matrices and each matrix corresponds to a weight matrix of that layer. It is like a map from 1st to 2nd layer , 2nd to 3rd and so on. Hence only the corresponding indices have weight vectors.
The 1st layer is called the input layer and weights can be set by :
>>net.IW{1} = [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;10];
However, please train the network using the following function before modifying the weight vectors:
>> net = trainscg(net,x,t); % where x and t are the input and output variables respectively.
For the succeeding layers, you can modify the weights using:
>> net.LW{2,1}=rand(128,12);
as shown in the screenshot.Please do not modify the empty vectors
Hope this helps.

Thank you, Shashank. However, your solution works for what Matlab calls ``shallow networks.'' In other words, the following needs to be true:
all(class(net) == 'network')
My question was about series networks, for which the following is true:
all(class(net) == 'SeriesNetwork')
Unfortunately, members of class SeriesNetwork are not structured as you say (they have no .IW or .LW fields, for instance).
