Linq (To Objects) Update ( like sql )

[Arjang Assadi]

When using Linq to Objects, is it possible to change a property value
on all the selected values?
I am NOT using Linq to sql, I have list items and want to change value
of some properties depending on names e.g.

//typo in name entry, can not change the persisted data, instead
correcting in code, there are no ID's to create a correction table for
specific records, just having to hard code it heuristics.

var names = from p in nameList
                  where p.FirstName == "Pater"
                  set p.FirstName = "Peter"
                  select p;
