With Python, navigating and manipulating complex data structures like nested lists can be challenging. This tutorial will guide you on how you can manipulate values inside a nested list.

Python offers several ways to navigate and manipulate values in nested lists. Here is an example where we modify the value of a specific index within a nested list:

# Sample List Nested List
my_list = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
print(f"Original list: {my_list}")

# Modify Value at Specific Index in Nested List
my_list[0][1] = 'New Value'
print(f"Modified list: {my_list}")

In the above example, we change value of index 1 (second element) of the first sublist to ‘New Value’.

If you want to add new elements into a nested list or delete existing ones, here is an example:

# Sample List Nested List
my_list = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
print(f"Original list: {my_list}")

# Adding Elements to the Nested List
my_list[0].append('New Value')
print(f"Updated list with added value: {my_list}")

# Deleting an element from a nested list 
del my_list[0][1]
print(f"Updated list after deleting value: {my_list}")

In the above example, we add ‘New Value’ to the end of the first sublist and delete the second element (index 1) of the first sublist.

This is a simple illustration of how you can navigate and manipulate values within nested lists in Python. Depending on your needs, you might need more complex data structures or additional logic.
