Do you mean something like this?

>> C = {'text'; 1; 1:2; 1:3}
C =
  4×1 cell array
    {'text'    }
    {[       1]}
    {1×2 double}
    {1×3 double}
>> f = 5;
>> C(2:4) = cellfun(@(c)f*c,C(2:4),'uni',false)
C =
  4×1 cell array
    {'text'    }
    {[       5]}
    {1×2 double}
    {1×3 double}
>> C{2}
ans =
     5
>> C{3}
ans =
     5    10
>> C{4}
ans =
     5    10    15
