using System.Xml;

....

XmlDocument MyDoc = new XmlDocument();

try {
MyDoc.LoadXml("<root><child name=\"Change me\" /></root>");
XmlElement TempNode = MyDoc.SelectSingleNode("root//child") as XmlElement;
if (TempNode != null)
TempNode.SetAttribute("name", "new value");
MessageBox.Show(MyDoc.OuterXml);
} catch (XmlException) {
// Handle parse error here
}

I forgot to mention, you can alternatively edit the attribute node directly:

***
XmlAttribute TempNode = MyDoc.SelectSingleNode("//root//child//@name") as XmlAttribute;
if (TempNode != null) TempNode.Value = "New";
***

Why are you doubling your forward slashes? A forward slash is not
treated as an escape character is it?
