Please find the below script, this is help you to replace the node

XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Students",
    new XElement("Andrew", "Andrew Wilson"),
    new XElement("Thomas", "Thomas Alwa"),
    new XElement("Winston", "Winston GH"),
    new XElement("Hary", "Hary Potter"),
    new XElement("Jacky", "Jacky Elia")
