Answer 1

Set your open stream position to 0 or save XML document in the newly opened stream.

XDocument doc = null;

using (IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, storage))
{
    doc = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
    bool isUpdated = false;
    foreach (var item in (from item in doc.Descendants("Employee")
                     where item.Attribute("name").Value.Equals(empName)
                     select item).ToList())
    {
        // updating existing employee data
        // element already exists, need to update the existing attributes
        item.Attribute("name").SetValue(empName);
        item.Attribute("id").SetValue(id);
        item.Attribute("timestamp").SetValue(timestamp);

        isUpdated = true;
    }

    if (!isUpdated)
    {
        // adding new employee data
        doc.Element("Employee").Add(
                    new XAttribute("name", empName),
                    new XAttribute("id", id),
                    new XAttribute("timestamp", timestamp));
    }      

    //First way
    //isoStream.Position = 0;
    //doc.Save(isoStream);                  
}

//Or second way
using (var stream = storage.OpenFile(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write))
{
    doc.Save(stream);
}
