If you don't wanna alter the original XML document,
use the XML "copy()" method to make a separate copy of the XML part you
wanna manipulate.
Here I wanna manipulate <page> node at index 2, so I use copy() there.
var targetNode:XML=doc.page[2].copy();
targetNode.setChildren("Replacement page content");
trace(targetNode.toXMLString());
//The original doc is left unchanged so you can refer back
//to it's elements all you want.
trace(doc.toXMLString();
