No probs, I'll be a little less vague and pointer-y and give you some
example code. :)

lst = ['foo', 'bar', 'quux', 'asdf', 'qwer', 'zxcv']
for idx, val in enumerate(lst):
    if val[1]=='w': lst[idx]='Replaced'
print(lst)

['foo', 'bar', 'quux', 'asdf', 'Replaced', 'zxcv']


Does that explain it a bit better? You get the index and can then
mutate the list using that index, thus replacing the original entry.
