The application/web config is not in a folder that normal (non-admin) users should have read/write access to. (ie it's with the application in Program Files / wwwroot) This is why the Framework only supplies read-only functionality.
You need to look into storing data in user-accessible areas (HKCU in registry, a database, isolated storage, etc) Remember that if you did write the code to allow updates to the app/web config file, that it would not be user-specific anyway.
