    new XAttribute("Att2", "different content")
);

foreach (XAttribute att in root.Attributes())
    output.Append(att.Name + "=" + att.Value + Environment.NewLine);
output.Append("" + Environment.NewLine);

XElement newRoot = new XElement(aw + "Root",
    from att in root.Attributes("Att2")
    select new XAttribute(att.Name, "new content"));
