Update XML node value in SQL Server
You can do something like this:
UPDATE dbo.profilesSET ProfileXML.modify('replace value of (/ProblemProfile/GroupID/text())[1] with "0"')WHERE id = 23Check out this article on SQL Server 2005 XQuery and XML-DML for more details on what you can do with the .modify keyword (insert, delete, replace etc.).

PS: In order to get the value, it would be a lot easier to do just this:
SELECT ProfileXML.value('(/ProblemProfile/GroupID)[1]', 'int') as IDFROM dbo.profilesWHERE id = 23(unless of course you need the XML as a SQL variable for something else later on)
The simplest way to change the text inside element
UPDATE [TableName] SET [fieldName].modify('replace value of (root/elementName/text())[1] with "wBob"')GO
