You need to load the web.config into memory before you can modify it.
It's probably a good idea load it as an XmlDocument so that you can parse it easily and edit the key that you want to.

For example:

 
'The webConfigLocation variable should be the path to the web.config file.
  Dim webConfigLocation As String = "C:\MyWebAppPath\web.config"
  Dim webConfigDoc As New XmlDocument
  webConfigDoc.Load(webConfigLocation)
  Dim appConfigList As XmlNodeList = webConfigDoc.GetElementsByTagName("add")
 
   For Each appConfigElement As XmlNode In appConfigList
      Dim key As String
      If Not appConfigElement.Attributes("key") Is Nothing Then
         key = appConfigElement.Attributes("key").Value
 
'Where "DatabaseConnection" is the name of the key for your Connection String
         If String.Compare(key, "DatabaseConnection", True) = 0 Then
            appConfigElement.Attributes("value").Value = "Some Edited Value"
            Exit For
         End If
      End If
   Next
   webConfigDoc.PreserveWhitespace = True
   webConfigDoc.Save(webConfigLocation)
