I have a plug-in project opened in the workspace. Is there an API which could help to change the plugin.xml? I don’t want to parse it as an xml file.

There is no “good” way to do this as the PDE guys did not open their APIs to modify manifest files (MANIFEST.MF, plugin.xml, etc). You can only access those information in read only with their APIs. That being said, if you are not afraid of using internal code, you can have a look at PDEModelUtility and ModelModification. These classes are used in the OrganizeManifestProcessor.
