Using the XmlDocument way, you can do this as follows (and keep the tree intact):

XmlDocument oldDoc = new XmlDocument();
oldDoc.LoadXml("xxx000Default");
XmlNode node = oldDoc.SelectSingleNode("ItemMasterList");

XmlDocument newDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement ele = newDoc.CreateElement("MasterList");
ele.InnerXml = node.InnerXml;

If you now use ele.OuterXml is will return: (you you just need the string, otherwise use XmlDocument.AppendChild(ele) and you will be able to use the XmlDocument object some more)

  
     xxx
     000
     Default
