It is called masking.
In masking you select a bit pattern and do bit wise OR or AND operation to set a particular bit of a no.
eg. in a 4 bit no, you have to set the LSB to be 1 always. Then you tahe mask as 0001 and do OR operation
x|0001

if the bit is set to be 0 always then mask = 1110 and do AND operation
x&1110
