You read it into an XmlDocument, find the correct node using XPath and change the node contents.

[Mike Askew]

        private void UpdateXML(string ElementValue, string NewValue)
        {
            XDocument XDoc = XDocument.Load(XmlFileLocation);
            IEnumerable<XElement> Results = XDoc.Descendants("bookID").Where(node => node.Value == ElementValue);
            foreach (XElement Node in Results)
            {
                Node.SetValue(NewValue);
            }
            XmlWriterSettings XmlSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
            XmlSettings.Indent = true;
            XmlWriter XmlOut = XmlWriter.Create(XmlFileLocation, XmlSettings);
            XDoc.WriteTo(XmlOut);
            XmlOut.Flush();
            XmlOut.Close();
            MessageBox.Show("Done");
        }

The following you pass an element value (as your example does, it does not pass an element name) and then the method will find all of that value and replace.

With your example data passing '1111' and '2223' as the new value returns the document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data>
  <book>
    <bookID>2223</bookID>
    <bookName>English</bookName>
    <bookPrice>2$</bookPrice>
  </book>
  <book>
    <bookID>222</bookID>
    <bookName>USA</bookName>
    <bookPrice>3$</bookPrice>
  </book>
  <book>
    <bookID>3333</bookID>
    <bookName>Singapore</bookName>
    <bookPrice>4$</bookPrice>
  </book>
</data>
