What if a small amount of motor oil was put in the transmission fluid?

Define "a small amount". A teaspoon? A few drops? A pint? An automatic transmission is very sensitive to the fluid: it depends on it, not only for the hydraulic operations of the transmission, but also for cooling and lubrication. Also, compatibility with the seals and gaskets is an issue. If there is any doubt in your mind about the issue, a complete flush and filter change is relatively cheap insurance.

Usually, I would remove the dipstick for the transmission and a funnel that is small enough to fit in there and that's how I add transmission fluid. You have to make sure you add the right amount and use the specified transmission fluid for that car.

What alternative fluid can use for a transmission in a Saturn?
The only thing you should put in your transmission is transmission fluid specifically designed for it. To cut one line of thought short right now, DO NOT put brake fluid in a transmission; they are not interchangeable. (Can you get away with putting a small amount of brake fluid in? Possibly, but not certainly, and you will definitely void any remaining warranty you have by doing so.)
If you Accidentally poured a small amount transmission fluid instead of motor oil will it cause damage?
Do you mean into the engine? If so it depends on how little; a quart is too much for a small engine. There wouldn't be any immediate damage but change the oil before running the car again.
1989 ford bronco 2 manual transmission fill plug location?
The location of all transmission fill locations (if your unable to find a plug on the transmission itself) is where you check your transmission fluid dipstick. Pour fluid down the very small drain with a small funnel slowly. Check your level then add the appropriate amount. Start your engine (to warm it up because it is much thicker) and fill until fluid is at the max level. Never overfill transmission fluid.
