I would highly recommend you do not change the web.config via code. However, if you feel you must see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7692675/how-to-change-to-connection-string-in-web-config-dynamically[^]
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2260317/change-a-web-config-programmatically-with-c-sharp-net[^]

I would suggest you actually store the connection string somewhere else if you are planning on changing it via code.
