CSV: Create New Headerline

In a CSV file, I would like to replace (delete) a headerline, first line, and create a new headerline. So the CSV file is (for this example I applied extra spaces to make it more readable):
State, Tornado, Hurricane, Earthquake,
Texas, 34, 5, 0,
Indiana, 8, 0, 2,
California, 2, 2, 20,
North Carolina, 1, 10, 1,
So now I need to delete the first headerline and replace it with a new headerline -- ST TOR HUR EAR -- see below:
ST, TOR, HUR, EAR,
Texas, 34, 5, 0,
Indiana, 8, 0, 2,
California, 2, 2, 20,
North Carolina, 1, 10, 1,
Thanks,
Amanda

I still don't know whether there are commas in your CSV file or if the content is really like what is written in your question (?)

Assuming that there is no comma but tabs ( \t ) as delimiters, I give you one way to do it:
% - Read input file data content (without header).
fid_in = fopen('myFile.csv', 'r') ; % Open input file for reading.
fgetl(fid_in) ; % Skip header line in input file.
content = fread(fid_in) ; % Read rest of input file.
fclose(fid_in) ; % Close input file.
% - Write output file: new header + previous data content.
fid_out = fopen('myFile_newHeader.csv', 'w') ; % Open input file for writing.
fprintf(fid_out, 'ST\tTOR\tHUR\tEAR\n') ; % Output new header.
fwrite(fid_out, content) ; % Output previous data content.
fclose(fid_out) ; % Close output file.
