At a minimum, you need to close the file after you read it and before
you re-open it for writing.
There's a variety of ways you could achieve the same effect. You might
open the file once, in read-write mode, read the contents, rewind to the
beginning with seek(), then write the new contents. You might also
write the modified data out to a new file, close it, and then rename it.
But, open, read, close, open, write, close is the most straight-forward.
