Well first off don't think of Verilog code as a progrm. Verilog isn't a software language. Insstead think in terms of a schematic of a digital circuit, which you will then describe in Verilog.

Now the way you store a matrix is by using a RAM. The address is split into a row and column parts. Anrvthe memory array is defined like so.

reg [7:0] mem [0:3];

This array would be able to hold a 4x4 matrix of bytes.

Didn't you mean 8X4 ?

Oops I meant 2x2 4 entries, that's what I get for posting when tired.

So the memory is divided up as 2 rows of 2 bytes by using address = {col,row};.
