I have here a program that deals 5 random cards..That part works fine, but I would like to highlite two of the cards, and replace them with two new cards.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I could go about this......
I have an example of the program here :................

clear(darkGreen)
image = loadImage ("Kenney/boardgames")
suits = ["clubs", "diamonds", "hearts", "spades"]
array cards [52}
getPack ( )
shufflePack ( )

for i = 0 to 5  loop   // this will flip the 5 cards to the screen
sprite = cards [ i ]
size = getSpriteSize (sprite)
setSpriteLocation (sprite, i % 13 * (size.x + 30) +50, int (i / 13 ) * (size.y + 5) + 200)
setSpriteVisibility(sprite, true)
drawSprites ( )
update ( )
sleep(0.7)
repeat

function shufflePack ( )
   cardIndex1 =  random (52)
   cardIndex2 =  random (52)
   card1 = cards [cardIndex1]
   card2 = cards [cardIndex2]
   cards [cardIndex1] = card2
   cards [cardIndex2] = card1
  repeat
return void

function getPack ( )
values = [ [0,"2"], [1,"3"], [2,"4"], [3,"5"], [4,"6"], [5,"7"], [6,"8"], [7,"9"], [8,"10"], [12,"A"], [9,"J"], [11,"K"], [10,"Q"], ]
imageNo = 0
 for suitNo = 0 to 4 loop
   for valueNo = 0 to 13 loop
   cardNo = suitNo * 13 values[valueNo] [0]
   sprite = createSprite ( )
   cardImage = getImage (imageNo)
   setSpriteImage(sprite, cardImage)
   setSpriteVisibilty(sprite, false)
   setSpriteDepth(sprite, cardNo)
   size = getSpriteSize(sprite)
   setSprieOrgin(sprite, -size,x/2, -size.y/2)
   scale = 1.5
   setSpriteScale ( sprite, {scale, scale} )
     sprite.value = values [valueNo] [1]
     sprite.suit = suits [suitNo]
     sprite.imageNo = imageNo
     cards [cardNo] = sprite
     imageNo + = 1
     if imageNo = 39 then
     imageNo + = 1   endif
   repeat
  repeat
return void

function getImage (imageNo)
cardImage = createImage(140, 190, false, image_rgb)
setDrawTarget (cardImage)
drawSheet(image, imageNo + 15, {0, 0, 140, 190} )
 update ( )
return cardImage

Edited this post to use proper code formatting, as your indentation wasn't visible. For future, if you put (```) without the brackets, before and after a section of text, it will turn into code formatting.

Will be taking a look at this shortly!

The best way to do this is have an array that stores if the card is to be changed or not. Left and right can be used to point at a card. Button A can toggle if its held or not and button y can change all cards that are set to discard. In the array you can go with binary. 1 means held, 0 means discard and draw. You also need a variable that keeps track of the card your pointing at. Left and right will increase or decrease this variable. Make sure user cannot go before card 1 or after card 5 or at least make it wrap around

Here an example to give you an idea

card=0//current card for cursor
cardheld=[0,0,0,0,0]//all card not held by def.
j=controls(0)

while !j.y loop//loops until y pushed
   j=controls(0)//check for btn pushed

   if j.left then//if left held
      card-=1//decrease current card
      sleep(.3)//small delay so cursor not fast
   endif

   if j.right then//if right held
      card+=1//increases current card
      sleep(.3)//delay again
   endif

   if card<0 then//move cursor to last card
      card=4
   endif

   if card>4 then//moves to first card
      card+=1
   endif

   if j.a then//if btn A pushed 
      if cardheld[card]==0 then
         cardheld[card]=1//toggles held status 
      else
         cardheld[card]=0
      endif
      sleep(.3)//delay so doesnt toggle fast
   endif

repeat

for z=0 to 5 loop
   if cardheld[z]==0 then
      Drawcard(z)//points to func. to draw card
   endif
repeat

I wouldnt just copy this and be done but should get you started. You still need the function that draws the card. Code included only applies to get this done internally. You should draw a cursor based on location of currently selected card and draw text based on if card held or not based on cardheld array
