I suggest that you learn XML first. There are numerous online resources on XML.

A Technical Introduction To XML
XML Tutorial

Next you need to learn about the Document Object Model (DOM) or Simple API for XML (SAX)
I am trying to learn about these subjects myself.

u can insert as well as extract data from xml file using xml.dom.minidom -- Lightweight DOM implementation. Its relatively easy to understand from the links given below, they have also given examples :-

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xml.dom.minidom.html
http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/XML_intro.html

These links i have got by searching in google...
