    Change the .material property on the Renderer for that mesh object.

    Change it to What tho...

    Code (CSharp):
    1.              n.gameObject.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
    2.                        n.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.shader = Shader.Find("Standard");
    3.                     n.GetComponent<Renderer>().material = Shader.Find
    4.                     n.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetFloat("_Glossiness", 0);

    The material using the cutout shader ?!

    Generally you don't change the shader on a material. Just make 2 materials each referencing the right shader and swap it out.

    Be sure to understand the relationship between shader, material and all the properties and assets that go into it.
