Creating a matrix within a matrix

I'm having trouble on how to create an MxN matrix will all zeros and in that MxN matrix I want the the first column, first row, last row, and last column to be zeros while the rest of the matrix is all different numbers, with possible values as 0 zeros as well. An example is below,
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0
0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Really the only values that the middle section can have is one or zero but the outsides have to all be zeros.

Is this homework? What have you tried so far? This could be achieved with logical indexing or a function from the image processing toolbox.
Well the first step I tried was doing zeros(M,1,1) and then (zeros(1,N,1) and got stuck with that because that only provided me with the first row and column. Next I tried doing a zeros(M,N) but that leaves me with a MxN zero matrix.
It's actually part of my Thesis however I have no prior computer programing background and my adviser took the week off ~_~

If you're saying you have a given matrix A and want to set the edges to zero,
A([1,end],[1,end])=0;

Alright I understand that, thank you. One last question would be how do I randomly pick values either 0 or 1 inside the submatrix I want. Meaning I leave the outside all zeros but generate possible 1 or 0 on the inside.
Use randi() to generate random zeros and ones everywhere. Then use the code I showed you to set the boundaries to zero.
