You can use Resources.Load. Make sure to create a Resources folder in your asset folder.

As an example:

// Assigns a material named "Assets/Resources/changeMaterial" to the object.

Material newMaterial = Resources.Load("changeMaterial", typeof(Material)) as Material;

gameObject.renderer.material = newMaterial;

somehow, I've got an error message that says "Load can only be called from the main thread."

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class NewBehaviourScript : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     $$anonymous$$aterial new$$anonymous$$aterial = Resources.Load("matherialName", typeof($$anonymous$$aterial)) as $$anonymous$$aterial;
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
     }
 
 
 
     float xtemp;
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown(0))
         { 
             xtemp = Input.mousePosition.x;
 
 
           
 
         }
         if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonUp (0)) 
         {
             if (Input.mousePosition.x < xtemp)
             {
                 Debug.Log("Left slided"); 
 
             
 
                 GameObject.Find("cude1").transform.renderer.material = new$$anonymous$$aterial;
 
             }
         
         }
     }
 }

Typically if the material already exists, you would use drag and drop to initialize a public variable. Attach this script to an game object. Select the object and then drag and drop the material you want to change to on the 'mat' variable.

 public Material mat;
 
 void Start() {
     renderer.material = mat;    
 }
