use renderer.materials[2]

EDIT:

from the reference: "Note that like all arrays returned by Unity, this returns a copy of materials array"

This means that if you change something in the array you received, it won't change the actual array. Try this:

 Material[] mats  = renderer.materials;
 mats[1] = newmaterial;
 renderer.materials = mats;

I got this line in unity docs in reference of renderer.materials

Note that like all arrays returned by Unity, this returns a copy of materials array. If you want to change some materials in it, get the value, change an entry and set materials back

I think this tells how to change the numbered material. Can anybody explain it?
