How can I chance a setting in the app.config file from within VB.net code?

Bob
I want the user to be able to change the contents of his SQL server
connection string. I've got a bit of code that lets him test his connection
when the app starts and select a server name from his network (useful if the
admins change sql server names or if they change the database location to
another server) the user can test his connection but problem is the
My.settings.Myconnectionstring is readonly. After user tests the connection
and finds its OK, I want to be able to change Myconnectionstring in the
app.config file automativally from within the application.

How can I do that?

Any help appreciated,
Bob
