Thinking about it again makes me realize that it will not work, since set 
just sets a variable, but does not take care of assignments. It is a little 
bit hard to explain, maybe someone else can do a better job.
Here is what you would have to do:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('a', [[0, 0], [0, 0]])">
   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('a1', a[0])">
   <dtml-call "a1.insert(0, 1)">
   <dtml-call "a.insert(0, a1)">
   <dtml-var "a[0][0]">
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

This code is tested and works. But you will see that this is far too 
complicated, thats why I would suggest you use a Python Method or an 
Eternal Method to solve the issue.

Stephan
