It depends on what you think the value of an element is.
But if you use .NET and want to change stuff in an XML document then one 
API to do that is System.Xml.XmlDocument, the DOM implementation in 
.NET. If you load the XML document and access an element node you can 
change its contents easy with
   elementNode.InnerText = "new contents goes here"
Then you can save the document.

XmlDocument gives you easy access to nodes in the document and an API to 
manipulate the document but has the disadvantage of loading the complete 
document so depending on the size of the XML document and the 
environment you use .NET in you might want to look into other options, 
like reading in with XmlTextReader and copying most stuff to an 
XmlTextWriter and then changing the element(s) you need to change.
