st: Replace value for some observation with average values of some other observations?

Dear list members,
Suppose I have a dataset with variables id and outcome.
Now for the observation with id=1 I want to replace the value of the
outcome by the average outcome values of the observations with id=2
and id=3.
I thought of
replace outcome=mean(outcome[id==2],outcome[id==3]), but this does not
quite work.
Would anyone know how to do this correctly?
Thank you so much,
C
