You can use gconftool-2 for modifying gconf, e.g.

Code:
gconftool-2   --type    string    --set    /apps/myapp/somesetting "Some Value"
Directly editing the XML doesn't work because the XML is only the backend where gconf stores its data. It's not even safe to edit the XML while gconfd is running.
