Unfortunately, the direct update is not possible. You need use helper
variable
create type tt as (a int, b int);
do $$
declare
x tt[] = ARRAY[(10,20),(30,40)];
_x tt;
begin
_x := x[1];
_x.a := 100;
x[1] := _x;
raise notice '%', x;
end;
$$;
you can read a field of an item of an array of some composite type with
parenthesis - (x[1]).a, but this syntax is not supported on the left part
of the assign statement.
