Set the z-component to zero (or any other value that fit your need) in Update.

Vector3 v3Position = anObject.transform.position;
v3Position.z = 0;
anObject.transform.position = v3Position;

gameObject.transform.position.z = 2.0;

This will not work with C# because position is a delegated property that returns a copy of the position not a reference to it.

You can do it in UnityScript, but under the ground it is doing the same as my answer. So it is always better to do it explicitly.
