It takes three things 1) a function 2) an index and 3) a list.  It  
finds the nth element of the list, applies the function to it and  
then returns a new list containing the new element in the same  
position.  It dies with an error message if you index past the end of  
the list.

e.g.

updateList (\x -> x + 10) 3 [0,1,2,3,4,5] == [0,1,2,13,4,5]
