With VS 2008 you can and should use LINQ to XML to manipulate your XML:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387098.aspx

Here is sample code that loads your XML sample, finds the 
MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS element and changes the VALUE attribute of the 
DNS_NAME child element:

             XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(@"doc.xml");
             XElement mns = 
doc.Descendants("MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS").FirstOrDefault();
             if (mns != null)
             {
                 XElement dname = mns.Element("DNS_NAME");
                 dname.SetAttributeValue("VALUE", "foo");
                 // make more changes here
                 // then save
                 doc.Save("doc.xml");
             }
