If $^a[@] works, then you don't need the subscript, either:

a=(foo$^a)

Futhermore you don't need the quotes and (@) in the print expression:

print -l ${(n)a}

} foo1
} foo2
} foo3
} 
} I would like to get the following output instead:
} 
} 1foo
} 2foo
} 3foo

I'm not understanding what you're asking.  Either this is as easy as

    a=(1 2 3)
    a=(${^a}foo)  # braces needed to distinguish $a from $afoo

or you've already got (foo$^a) and you're asking how to change "foo?"
into "?foo" for the whole array

    setopt extendedglob
    a=(${a/(#b)foo(<->)/$match[1]foo})

or you mean something else entirely.  Can you elaborate?
