Extract (x,y,z) coordinates from the pointCloud object (ptCloud.Location), make changes to the coordinates, and then reassign to a new pointCloud.
Demo: scatter the z-coordinates.
% Load build-in data, create pointcloud
load('xyzPoints');
ptCloud = pointCloud(xyzPoints);
% Extract (x,y,z) coordinates and randomly scatter the z-values
xyzRand = double(ptCloud.Location);
randIdx = randperm(size(xyzRand,1));
xyzRand(:,3) = xyzRand(randIdx,3);
% Create new pointcloud
ptCloudScat = pointCloud(xyzRand);
% Plot both pointclouds
figure
ax(1) = subplot(1,2,1);
pcshow(ptCloud,'Parent',ax(1))
title(ax(1),'Original')
ax(2) = subplot(1,2,2);
pcshow(ptCloudScat,'Parent',ax(2))
title(ax(2),'Z-scattered')
% Link and rotate axes
fig.UserData = linkprop(ax,'view');
set([ax.Toolbar],'Visible','off')
rotate3d('on')
