How to update a collection with a request that has full collection as array

Hi, Sorry if my title is a bit confusing. I have a Material.php record

SKU: "DFAS"
company_id: 2
created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z"
id: 6
name: "Almond"
prices: Array(12)
0: {id: 37, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-04-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
1: {id: 38, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-05-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
2: {id: 39, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-06-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
3: {id: 40, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-07-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}

5: {id: 42, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-09-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
6: {id: 43, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-10-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
7: {id: 44, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-11-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
8: {id: 45, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2021-12-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
9: {id: 46, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2022-01-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
10: {id: 47, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2022-02-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
11: {id: 48, material_id: 6, price: "4.45", month: "2022-03-01 00:00:00", created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z", …}
length: 12
__proto__: Array(0)
supplier_id: 10
type: "ingredient"
updated_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z"
user_id: 2

and in vue I change one of the prices of one of the months to 4.30 and then I do an axios call with the updated record

SKU: "DFAS"
company_id: 2
created_at: "2021-03-16T03:33:54.000000Z"
id: 6

Is there an easy way in my controller to replace all the entire record? Something like

return $material->load('prices')->update($request)

This gives me the error Model::update() must be of the type array, object given
