My question is that How to replace the version[1].data[] with new values that will be come from the client side..

New data will look like

"data": [
            {
                "totalResources": 4,
                "costToCompany": 2200,
                "profitToCompany": 1100,
                "costToClient": 3300,
                "resources": [
                    {
                        "genericDesignationName": "Development",
                        "designationName": "Backend Developer",
                        "departmentName": "web development",
                        "calculationFactor": 1,
                       
                    },
                    {
                        "genericDesignationName": "Development",
                        "designationName": "Frontend Developer",
                        "departmentName": "web development",
                        "calculationFactor": 1,
                        
                    }
                ],
                "addOns": [
                    {
                        "genericDesignationName": "Design",
                        "designationName": "Graphic Designer",
                        "addOnCost": 100,
                       
                    }
                ],
                               }
        ],
        
    }
]

Have you tried simply assigning the new value? Like currObj.versions[1].data = newData — Som Shekhar Mukherjee

You can simply achieve that by iterating versions array :

const data = {
  versions: [{
    ver: 0,
    data: []
  }, {
    ver: 1,
    data: []
  }, {
    ver: 2,
    data: []
  }]
};

const replacedData = ['abc'];

data.versions.forEach(obj => {
    if (obj.ver === 1) {
    obj.data = replacedData
  }
});

console.log(data);
