How to set Nodata value into zero

I have a question. How can I set null value into 0 on an image. Is there any way to do this in matlab. The image type is float-point, 32 bit, tif format. Null value (Nodata) of this image is -3.4028234663e+038. So the number is out of range of float-point. So I wanna replace those values with 0.

Generally speaking, you can find all the elements to replace by:

idx = (I == x); % # x is the "null" value

where I is your image and x is the desired value to replace (in your case, that is the "null" value). However, a more practical syntax would be using a certain threshold value instead of the exact value:

idx = (I > y);  % # y is a value much lower than x

Now idx holds the logical indices of the elements you want to zero out. After you obtain idx, just do:

I(idx) = 0;

P.S
In practice, you can do achieve the same result without creating a temporary variable idx, like so:

I(I > y) = 0;
