Replace row in data.frame

I have a dataframe which looks like that:

'data.frame':   3036 obs. of  751 variables:
 $ X           : chr  "01.01.2002" "02.01.2002" "03.01.2002" "04.01.2002" ...
 $ A: chr  "na" "na" "na" "na" ...
 $ B: chr  "na" "1,827437365" "0,833922973" "-0,838923572" ...
 $ C: chr  "na" "1,825300613" "0,813299479" "-0,866639008" ...
 $ D: chr  "na" "1,820482187" "0,821374034" "-0,875963104" ...
...

I have converted the X row into a date format.

dates <- as.Date(dataFrame$X, '%d.%m.%Y')

Now I want to replace this row. The thing is I cannot create a new dataframe because I after D there are coming over 1000 more rows...

What would be a possible way to do that easily?

I think what you want is simply:

dataFrame$X <- dates

if you you want to do is replace column X with dates. If you want to remove column X, simply do the following: 

dataFrame$X <- NULL

(edited with more concise removal method provided by user @shujaa)
