element wise logical operators?

I have a question regarding using logical operators on a multi-dimensional array.
I want to firstly test if an element passes a criteria then replace that value with another value given the results of a test.
I want to check the first dimension of the array against the threshold of 0.5 and replace all instances where this is true with a value for only 2 columns of the the 2nd dimension and all cases of the 3rd and 4th dimension. Does anyone know how to do this without multiple for loops?
for example
DA = rand(4,4,2,3);
if DA(:,2:4,:,:)<0.5;
DA(:,2:4,:,:) = 1;
end
thanks Tim

clear
DA = rand(4,4,2,3);
K=arrayfun(@(x) x<0.5,DA(:,2:4,:,:))
B=DA(:,2:4,:,:);
B(find(K==1))=1;
DA(:,2:4,:,:)=B

Explicitly operating on a sub array and assign it back is a good approach. However, may I propose a bit of refactoring according to Matt Fig above:
sub_array = DA(:,2:4,:,:);
sub_array( sub_array < 0.5 ) = 1;
DA(:,2:4,:,:) = sub_array;

Do you mean this?
DA = rand(4,4,2,3);
DA(DA(:,2:4,:,:)<0.5) = 1;
or perhaps you are talking about this (see the comments below):
DA = rand(4,4,2,3);
tmp = DA(:,2:4,:,:);
tmp(tmp<.5) = 1;
DA(:,2:4,:,:) = tmp;

I run
DA = rand(4,4)
DA(:,2:4)<0.5
DA(DA(:,2:4)<0.5) = 1
and get
DA =
0.5313 0.7788 0.1537 0.4574
0.3251 0.4235 0.2810 0.8754
0.1056 0.0908 0.4401 0.5181
0.6110 0.2665 0.5271 0.9436
ans =
0 1 1
1 1 0
1 1 0
1 0 0
DA =
0.5313 1.0000 1.0000 0.4574
1.0000 1.0000 0.2810 0.8754
1.0000 1.0000 0.4401 0.5181
1.0000 0.2665 0.5271 0.9436

which is confusing although I understand what is happening.
I wasn't sure whether the OP wants this or something more like:
DA = rand(4,4)
tmp = DA(:,2:4);
tmp(tmp<.5) = 1;
DA(:,2:4) = tmp
It turned out, I cannot make sense of the question. OP must help.
However, I found it very hard to grasp
M( logical_index ) = scalar;
when size(M) is not equal to size(logical_index). One dimension is ok, but four is not.
Is there a way to think about it?
OK, now I got the message: Work with sub arrays!

Ok, it appears there is some confussion regarding the question. I appologise. and I appreciate the responses. the idea is to review 3 columns of the array and compare the value to a limit. Then replace the value of the rows in those columns with a new value.
so if my 4D array is as follows DA(simulations, components, alpha, bravo) we have the simulation results (rows) for each component (columns) at each alpha and bravo.
so I want to run a check on 3 components for all simulations and replace the output of the simulation results if it meets a logical criteria.
So DA(sims, [component2 component3 component4] , A, B). lets say DA = rand(4,4,2,2) for now.
so DA(:,2:4,:,:)>0.5 = 1; so if sims in columns 2:4 are greater than 0.5, replace those results with 1.
Thanks.
I was trying to avoid creating too many variables here since I am dealing with arrays of the magnitude of DA(2000,80,50,8) but I guess the best solution has been to use sub arrays. thanks.
"sub_array = DA(:,2:4,:,:);
sub_array( sub_array < 0.5 ) = 1;
DA(:,2:4,:,:) = sub_array;" - per isakson
