I've been using "ceil(4*rand)" to generate random integers from 1 to 4. But when I tried to check the uniformity, I found that I do not get a probability of 0.25 and instead have p(1)=0.24997, p(2)=0.25102, p(3)=0.24949 and p(4)=0.24951 after generating 10,00,000 values. Is it good enough to say that it's uniform?

Yes. You should not expect to get exactly 25% of each, every time. That is expected behavior of random numbers.
FYI, it may be more convenient for you to use the randi() function to do what you are doing.

the cyclist is correct. Please see also the description in http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/12307-how-to-generate-a-uniform-random-variable-in-the-interval-1-1-with-mean-zero

No problem on the late response. However, you should consider deleting this "answer" (because it is not answer), and making it a comment on my answer.

I think the answer is:
Num = 1000;
vec = randi([1 Num],1,Num);
This instruction generate a vector with random uniformly distributed integers between 1 and 1000
