Regardless of what you're trying to do there should be no need to read to and write to a file at the same time. It would also use more memory which should always be avoided. I'd suggest reading the entire file using the .ReadAll method and then close it and do whatever you need to do with the data (assuming you read the contents into a variable) and then do a write to the same file and overwrite the file. If you're concerned with having something go wrong when over-writing the current file you could always try to write it to a different file and throw an error if that doesn't work before trying to over-write the original.
