Question

How can I change the value of the node Test to Power?

Example

Answer 1

I don't know what exactly you want to achieve, but the example should give you and idea:

$file = 'c:\temp\aa\ServerService.exe.config'
$x = [xml] (Get-Content $file)
Select-Xml -xml $x  -XPath //root/level |
    % { $_.Node.'#text' = 'test'
        $_.Node.SomeAttribute = 'value'
      }
$x.Save($file)

You don't need to use .NET for xpath queries. Just stay with PowerShell (with Select-Xml).
It is also common to load xml file via Get-Content and cast it to [xml] which creates XmlDocument and loads the file content.
