How to assign values to a MATLAB matrix on the diagonal?

Suppose I have an NxN matrix A, an index vector V consisting of a subset of the numbers 1:N, and a value K, and I want to do this:

 for i = V
     A(i,i) = K
 end

Is there a way to do this in one statement w/ vectorization?

e.g. A(something) = K

The statement A(V,V) = K will not work, it assigns off-diagonal elements, and this is not what I want. e.g.:

>> A = zeros(5);
>> V = [1 3 4];
>> A(V,V) = 1

A =

 1     0     1     1     0
 0     0     0     0     0
 1     0     1     1     0
 1     0     1     1     0
 0     0     0     0     0

>> B=[0,4,4;4,0,4;4,4,0]

B =

     0     4     4
     4     0     4
     4     4     0

>> v=[1,2,3]

v =

     1     2     3

>> B(eye(size(B))==1)=v
%insert values from v to eye positions in B

B =

     1     4     4
     4     2     4
     4     4     3

I use this small inline function in finite difference code.

A=zeros(6,3);
range=@(A,i)[1-min(i,0):size(A,1)-max(i+size(A,1)-size(A,2),0 ) ];
Diag=@(A,i) sub2ind(size(A), range(A,i),range(A,i)+i );
A(Diag(A, 0))= 10; %set diagonal 
A(Diag(A, 1))= 20; %equivelent to diag(A,1)=20;
A(Diag(A,-1))=-20; %equivelent to diag(A,-1)=-20;

It can be easily modified to work on a sub-range of the diagonal by changing the function range.
