You'll need to give us a little more to go on for this. I'm not sure if your question is clear enough.

SPListItem item = list.Items[itemId];
item["SomeField"] = "Some value";
item.Update();

You'll have to be more specific in your question if you want more of an answer

OK. Have you debugged this code? Does the list "DMLibrary" exist? Does it have at least 32 items in it? Does the list have a field called "Approved"?

You have to make some effort on your part or contact me for my rates to help with this project.

Thanks again Mar..

all the fields/ ID and document library exists.

I have done this form below code.

Please check and confirm if there is any error. It is working fine now.

SPListItemCollection _itemCol;
SPQuery qry = new SPQuery(_web.Lists["DMSLibrary"].DefaultView);
qry.Query = "<where><eq><fieldref name="DocID"><value type="Text">" + strDocID + "";
qry.ViewFields = "<fieldref name="FileLeafRef"><fieldref name="Title"><fieldref name="DocID"><fieldref name="Category"><fieldref name="Approved"><fieldref name="Rejected"><fieldref name="DueDate"><fieldref name="DocumentURL"><fieldref name="ID"><fieldref name="LinkFilenameNoMenu"><fieldref name="LinkFilename">";
qry.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"RecursiveAll\"";
_itemCol = _web.Lists["DMSLibrary"].GetItems(qry);
//DataTable dtMetaData = ExecuteQuery(_web.Lists["DMSLibrary"]);
//int _docID = Convert.ToInt32(dtMetaData.DefaultView.ToTable().Rows[0]["ID"]);
_web.AllowUnsafeUpdates=true;
if (_itemCol.Count > 0)
{
for (int iCount = 0; iCount < _itemCol.Count; iCount++)
{
//SPDocumentLibrary docs = (SPDocumentLibrary)_web.Lists["DMSLibrary"];
SPListItem _item = _itemCol[iCount];
_item["Approved"] = true;
_item.Update();
}

}
