Try something like this —

T1 = array2table(randi(9, 5, 5));
T1.Properties.RowNames = {'1','2','3','4','5'}                      % Create Table With Row Names

T1 = 5×5 table
         Var1    Var2    Var3    Var4    Var5
         ____    ____    ____    ____    ____

    1     2       8       8       8       3  
    2     1       3       8       8       7  
    3     5       8       5       5       7  
    4     9       3       1       2       1  
    5     2       5       1       7       2  

RN = T1.Properties.RowNames                                         % Get Row Names

RN = 5×1 cell array
    {'1'}
    {'2'}
    {'3'}
    {'4'}
    {'5'}

T1 = addvars(T1, cell2mat(RN), 'Before','Var1')                     % Convert Row Names To First Variable

T1 = 5×6 table
         Var1_1    Var1    Var2    Var3    Var4    Var5
         ______    ____    ____    ____    ____    ____

    1      1        2       8       8       8       3  
    2      2        1       3       8       8       7  
    3      3        5       8       5       5       7  
    4      4        9       3       1       2       1  
    5      5        2       5       1       7       2  

T1.Properties.RowNames = {}                                         % Delete Original Row Names

T1 = 5×6 table
    Var1_1    Var1    Var2    Var3    Var4    Var5
    ______    ____    ____    ____    ____    ____
