It sounds as you want element-wise multiplication.
For this and other such add-ons, the FAQ
How do I perform element-by-element operations on matrices?
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/matrix.html
explains the principles and points you to user-written
canned versions. Typing

would also point you to these resources.
