You are not modifying the table, but just the a numpy object, h5t[1] in
memory. Look at this:
In [6]: type(h5t[1])
Out[6]: <type 'numpy.void'>
In order to modify the value, you have several possibilities:
1.- Use `cols` accessor: h5t.cols.number[1] = 3
2.- Use `modifyRows()` method:
row = h5t[1]
row['number'] = 3
h5t.modifyRows(1, rows=[row])
or...

...this is a third possibility.
