How to assign of a variable to another variable with specific condition in R?

Suppose x=c(5,6,8,9,10), I would like to create another variable y of length 8. The 3rd, 5th and 7th position should be zero and the rest of the positions are filled with x- values. The expected y is c(5,6,0,8,0,9,0,10)

Any help is appreciated.

We can create an empty vector of length 8, assign values of x to y removing index at pos. 

pos <- c(3, 5, 7)
y <- integer(length = 8)
y[-pos] <- x
y
#[1]  5  6  0  8  0  9  0 10
