Answer 1

 private void UpdateConfig(string strKey, string strValue)
{
   Configuration objConfig =
      WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
   AppSettingsSection objAppsettings =
      (AppSettingsSection)objConfig.GetSection("appSettings");
   if (objAppsettings != null)
   {
      objAppsettings.Settings[strKey].Value = strValue;
      objConfig.Save();
   }
}

But it will restart your application domain every time you update the web.config file, so, updating the web.config frequently is not advisable.
