You can't do this.

"The variable names that you assign must be valid MATLAB variable names. "
'C(99)' is not a valid variable name; variable names are not allowed to
contain parentheses.
A slightly different approach:
>> C = rand(100, 1);
>> T = array2table(C);
>> T.Properties.RowNames = arrayfun(@num2str, 1:size(T, 1), 'UniformOutput',
>> false);
This makes each element of C into a _row_ of T, not a variable, but it does
give you row names similar to what you want.
