I have to set the values of the first 3 rows of dataset in column "alcohol" as NaN



newdf=pd.DataFrame({'alcohol':[np.nan]},index=[0,1,2])
wine.update(newdf)
wine


After running the code, no error is coming and dataframe is also not updated

    Use iloc with get_loc for position for column alcohol:



    wine.iloc[:3, wine.columns.get_loc('alcohol')] = np.nan


    Or use loc with first values of index:



    wine.loc[wine.index[:3], 'alcohol'] = np.nan
