How do I change elements values with DOM?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to get to understand the DOM tutorials but I'm struggling with some things.. Basically I need to take an xml structure, read it and then change it to another xml structure. For instance, if I have the html sentence:
<p id="id10">One flight was found </p>
I would like to change it to a vxml sentence like
<vxml:prompt vxml:id="id10" vxml:bargein="false">One flight was found.</vxml:prompt>
And I need to do that to an entire file. I can read the html with the DOM (I'm following the http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/index.html tutorial) and show it without troubles, but I don't know and I can't find the functions that would allow me to modify the values. By values I mean both the element tags such as converting <p>..</p> to <prompt>..</prompt> and the attributes (like the id attribute). Could anybody help me here please?

Thanks for that, but still can't do it. I'm using Xerces as you suggested. The following chunk is not actually what I need to do but I can't manage to get it working either. Shouldn't this:
Document doc= new DocumentImpl();
Element item = doc.createElement("name");
item.setNodeValue("nameChanged");
change the <name> tag to a <nameChanged> tag? When I output it it's still <name>.
I'm getting awfully confused with all the factories and models (yes, sorry, quite a newcomer, but I still need to do this somehow). If the following task is not too long/troublesome, could somebody please help me out with the code? Imagine you have a file with the content:
<label id="1">Hello</label>
and using xerces you want to create another file, without changing the first one, with the content:
<anotherLabel id="1">Hello<anotherLabel>
