You could write a parser for your xml (use SAX for example) and store it into a object of a class which represents the fields and values of you xml.

Then edit the needed settings in the object and use a xml builder to make a xml file with the new values.

Then just write the file back to the device. See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html for details on storing files.
