I needed some google hand-holding for this, so no warranties:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([[60,70,1],[43,54,2],[87,67,3],[87,89,4],[12,4,5]])
>>> a[:,:2] == [87,67]
array([[False, False],
       [False, False],
       [ True,  True],
       [ True, False],
       [False, False]], dtype=bool)
>>> (a[:,:2] == [87,67]).all(axis=1)
array([False, False,  True, False, False], dtype=bool)
>>> np.where((a[:,:2] == [87,67]).all(axis=1))
(array([2]),)

Easy:

>>> a[2,2] = 123456
>>> a
array([[    60,     70,      1],
       [    43,     54,      2],
       [    87,     67, 123456],
       [    87,     89,      4],
       [    12,      4,      5]])
