Not sure how elegant this is, but given the arguments in the order specified in your first post (list, position, offset):
Code:
\<<
   PICK3 PICK3
   GET + PUT
\>>

...would seem to work.

{ 1 2 3 4 5 } { 0 0 3 0 0 } ADD
but building the second list is not less verbose than the process written above. At least for my knowledge.

Does someone know a quick way to build a list with only one non zero value in a specified position?

That will work, of course, but you'd end up doing a lot of unnecessary additions for a large list. I haven't tested it, but I can't imagine that those additions would be faster than a simple GET/ADD/PUT combination.

If you still want to play around with that, though, the following can be used to generate a list of 0s with a single constant in a specified position.

Stack setup
3: constant
2: position
1: list size

Code:
\<<
   0 SWAP
   NDUPN â†’LIST
   SWAP ROT PUT
\>>
