What is the method to alter a single object in a list in Python without affecting the rest?

edit

You can alter a single object in a list in Python without affecting the rest by accessing the object using its index and then modifying it directly. Here's an example:

my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
my_list[1] = 'kiwi'

print(my_list)
# Output: ['apple', 'kiwi', 'cherry']

In this example, we accessed the object at index 1 (which is 'banana') and replaced it with 'kiwi'. This modifies the list, but only affects the single object we targeted.
