To change a renderer material, you need to create a new material array and update the materials array (not material which is just a handy acessor to change active material attributes). Here is some example code:

 void SetMaterial()
 {
     var newMaterials = new Material[1];
 
     newMaterials[0] = myMaterial;
     GetComponent<Renderer>().materials = newMaterials;
 }
