How to replace a column with an incremented vector starting at -10?

I have some time data and I am trying to replace an invalid column with data starting at -10 and increases in increments of .1 up to the length of the dataset. How would I go about this?

Please post some code, which creates a dataset like yours. "some time data" is not enough to guess this detail reliably. How can the "invalid" columns be identified?

>> M = rand(12,6); % example data
>> col = 4; % specify which column

Well, it's trivial to change:
M(:, col) = startvalue + (0:size(M, 1)-1) * increment;
So:
M(:, col) = -10 + (0:size(M, 1)-1) * 0.1;
