Because R[ax] is not a view of R, but another copy of the original 
object (fancy indexing does return references to different objects).  
In order to get views, you must specify only a slice of the original 
array.  For example:

In [50]: S = R[::2]
In [51]: S[:] = 2
In [52]: R
Out[52]:
array([[2, 2, 2],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [2, 2, 2]])

So, what you need is something like:

In [68]: R = N.arange(9).reshape(3,3)
In [69]: S = R[1:3,:][:,1:3]
In [70]: S[:] = 2
In [71]: R
Out[71]:
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 2, 2],
       [6, 2, 2]])
