Example:

XML

<xml>
  <stockgroup name="Laptops" action="Create">
    <name.list>
      <name>Old Value</name>
    </name.list>
    <parent />
    <isaddable>Yes</isaddable>
  </stockgroup>
</xml>

Let's replace "Old Value" with "New Value":

C#

string xmlFile = "test.xml";
System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(xmlFile);
xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("xml/stockgroup/name.list/name").InnerText = "New Value";
xmlDoc.Save(xmlFile);
