Indesign CS overriding master page items

Anyone know how to overide a master page item. Here some sample code I found
which works but I want to address the items as they would be addressed if
they were not master page items(like after the page is detached). For
example if I Detach the whole page then I can access individual items like
(rectangle 13) but I cannot seem to do it that way when they are still
linked to the master page. Rectangle 13 is not rectangle 13 when it is still
part of the master page. Why adobe didn't use the same item order on both
master page and page is beyond me.

tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
override item 1 of master page items of page 1 destination page page 1
end tell
end tell

What I would like to do is this but it does not work. I get an error "can't
get rectangle 13"

tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
override rectangle 13 of master page items of page 1 destination page
page 1
end tell
end tell
