If you're using Xalan, there is an XSLT extension that will let you do
this. You could embed the code to save changes in the same XSL file you
use for presentation, depending on a request parameter.
<map:generate src="docs/yourXMLfile.xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/xalanStylesheet.xsl">
<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
</map:transform>
<map:serialize/>
xalanStylesheet.xsl would look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="*"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xalan="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
extension-element-prefixes="xalan" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" otput:indent-amount="5"
xmlns:otput="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"; />
<xsl:param name="save"/>
<xsl:param name="mytext"/>
<xsl:template match="/mydoc">
<html>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$save = '1'">
<xsl:variable name="file"
select="concat('../docs/','yourXMLfile.xml')"/>
<xalan:write select="$file">
<mydoc>
<mytext><xsl:value-of select="$mytext"/></mytext>
</mydoc>
</xalan:write>
<p><xsl:value-of select="$mytext"/></p>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<p><xsl:value-of select="mytext"/></p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
good luck

See <slash-edit/> demo. It's under mount/edit in the scratchpad/webapp.
