Y(1) is a scalar (single number), 1:numel(t) is a vector. You can't set a scalar to a vector.
Use an unused variable name instead, e.g.
for k = 1:numel(t)

Try
for k = 1 : numel(t)
this_t = t(k);
Y(k) = 5 * this_t ^ 2 + 42; % Replace with whatever your formula for Y is.
end

Which error message do you get? Avoid overdoing the parentheses:
Fyt = @(t,Y) [-K * Y(1) * Y(2); ...
-Yb * K * Y(1) * Y(2); ...
Yp * K * Y(1) * Y(2)];
This looks cleaner.
Note that you have defined "Fyt", but call "fyt" later.
This cannot work also:
k2 = fyt ((Y(1)+0.5*h, Y(2)+0.5*h*k1));
% ^ ^
Here the inner parentheses combine the two arguments, but the function Fyt (not fyt) should get 2 arguments. Better:
k2 = Fyt(Y(1) + 0.5 * h, Y(2) + 0.5 * h * k1);

The variable for a for loop must be a plain unindexed variable.
