If you only want a subset, then use that in the function:
Dataset.target <- apply(x,1,function(.row) sum(is.na(.row[3:8])))
This will put it back in column1:
> x <- matrix(1,10,10)
> x[sample(1:100,10)] <- NA
> x[,1] <- 0 # make sure column 1 has no NAs so sums are correct
> x
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,] 0 1 NA 1 1 1 1 NA 1 1
[2,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[3,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA
[4,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA 1 1
[5,] 0 1 1 NA 1 1 1 1 1 1
[6,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[7,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[8,] 0 NA 1 NA NA 1 NA 1 1 NA
[9,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[10,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
> # get the sums of NA in 3:8 and put in column 1
> x[,1] <- apply(x, 1, function(.row) sum(is.na(.row[3:8])))
>

> x
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,] 2 1 NA 1 1 1 1 NA 1 1
[2,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[3,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA
[4,] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA 1 1
[5,] 1 1 1 NA 1 1 1 1 1 1
[6,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[7,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[8,] 3 NA 1 NA NA 1 NA 1 1 NA
[9,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
[10,] 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
