The WPF datagrid was built to bind to something like a DataTable. The majority of the time, you will modify the DataTable, and the Rows/Columns within the DataTable that is bound to the DataGrid.

The DataGrid itself is the Visual Element for the DataTable. Here is a pretty good tutorial on how to do this. To modify data within a loop would look something like this.

foreach(DataRow row in myTable.Rows)
{
    row["ColumnTitle"] = 1;
}

This would simply make all the values in Column "ColumnTitle" equal to 1. To access a single cell it would look something like this.

myTable.Rows[0][0] = 1;

This would set the first cell in your DataTable to 1.
