Answer 1

You could simply set the node name based on the current node name.
In the sample below, I have used a dictionary for replacing the node names.

You can use any other logic that you have for replacing the node names as in mapping for original to new.

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(@"<SequenceFlow>
    <FlowWriteLine> hiiii </FlowWriteLine>
    <NotToBeReplaced>byeee</NotToBeReplaced>
    </SequenceFlow> ");

Dictionary<string, string> replacements = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "SequenceFlow", "Workflow" }, { "FlowWriteLine", "WriteLine" } };

foreach (XElement child in doc.Root.DescendantsAndSelf())
{
    string replacementValue = string.Empty;
    if (replacements.TryGetValue(child.Name.LocalName, out replacementValue))   
    {
        child.Name = replacementValue;
    }
}

The above gives an output as

<Workflow>
  <WriteLine> hiiii </WriteLine>
  <NotToBeReplaced>byeee</NotToBeReplaced>
</Workflow>
