    while(index<finalResult.length ) {
        if (index==topic) {
          finalResult[index]= mark;
        } else {
        finalResult[index]=cols[index];
        }
        index++; 

    }
    }

The problem is here:

finalResult[index] = mark;

You can't put int number to String array:

Error:
incompatible types: int cannot be converted to java.lang.String

You need to convert number to String before adding to the array.

You have to change as follows:

finalResult[index] = String.valueOf(mark);

or

finalResult[index] = mark + "";
