for index, value in enumerate(someList):
someList[index] = 1

There is also this way:

for index in range(len(someList)):
someList[index] = 1

This is not as pretty or concise as enumerate(), but if you've never
seen that function before this may be more clear. I assume you're
familiar with the way range and len work.
