Generating the data
random.seed(42)
date_rng = pd.date_range(start='1/1/2018', end='1/08/2018', freq='H')
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,10,size=(len(date_rng), 3)),
columns=['data1', 'data2', 'data3'],
index= date_rng)
daily_mean_df = pd.DataFrame(np.zeros([len(date_rng), 3]),
columns=['data1', 'data2', 'data3'],
index= date_rng)
mask = np.random.choice([1, 0], df.shape, p=[.35, .65]).astype(bool)
df[mask] = np.nan
df

I want to select a specific time each day, then set all value in a day equal to the data of that time. For example, I want to select 1:00:00, then all data of 2018-01-01 will be equal to 2018-01-01 01:00:00, all data of 2018-01-02 will be equal to 2018-01-02 01:00:00,etc.,
I know how to select the data of the time:
timestamp = "01:00:00"
df[df.index.strftime("%H:%M:%S") == timestamp]
but I don't know how to set data of the day equal to it.
Thank you for reading.

Check with reindex
s=df[df.index.strftime("%H:%M:%S") == timestamp]
s.index=s.index.date
df[:]=s.reindex(df.index.date).values
