Kerry,
The web.config (and exename.config) file is an XML file, so you can load
the XML file using the classes in the System.Xml namespace. I am typing
this into the email editor (don't have .NET loaded on this machine), but
here is the general idea.
XmlDocument doc = New XmlDocument();
doc.load(Server.Mappath("web.config"));
XmlAttribute ownerName =
(XmlAttribute)doc.SelectSingleNode("config/People/owner/@name[.='Joe']");
ownerName.NodeValue = "Bob";
