The workaround can be using script as suggested by Shabarish or devlope your own adapter module which will read and modify file contents.

No.

No, It's not possible. You can either overwrite the existing file or append new values to it but you cannot modify the existing records.

[Shabarish_Nair]

no.

you can only use append or overwrite mode onto the file.

you might want to explore some other workarounds.

maybe a script - but guess its too complicated via a script
