Hi Pascal

If I have the following list (your data):

li = {
  XMLElement[ensemble, {ensemble -> 1},
     {XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 1},
        {XMLElement[freq, {}, {3.123}], XMLElement[vol, {}, {12.12}]}],
      XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 2},
        {XMLElement[freq, {}, {8.101}], XMLElement[vol, {},
{0.552}]}]}],
  XMLElement[ensemble, {ensemble -> 2},
    {XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 1},
        {XMLElement[freq, {}, {6.163}], XMLElement[vol, {}, {2.111}]}],
     XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 2},
        {XMLElement[freq, {}, {12.884}],  XMLElement[vol, {},
{0.221}]}]}]
};

then you can use the following replacement

li /.
XMLElement[ensemble, {ensemble -> 2},
     {aaaa1_,
      XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 2},
         { XMLElement[freq, {}, _], aaaa2_}]}] ->
XMLElement[ensemble, {ensemble -> 2},
     {aaaa1,
      XMLElement[peak, {peakID -> 2},
        { XMLElement[freq, {}, {"MY VALUE"}], aaaa2}]}]

to set the freq value (to "MY VALUE") of ensemble 2 and peakID 2.
