You forgot the assign the second time:
assign(paste("a",2,sep=""), 4)
does what you want.
Hope this helps a little

I created variables automatically like this way
for(i in 1:5){
nam<- paste("a",i,sep="")
assign(nam,1:i)

and then, i want to insert a new data into "a2" variable. so, i did next
sentence
paste("a",2,sep="")<- 4
so, i got this error message
Error in get(paste("a", 2, sep = ""))[1]<- 4 :
target of assignment expands to non-language object
