Using your code and what I would guess is your class, I’d do something like this:

class Eco {
  public Eco() { }
  public void SetEcoValues(string text, double value) {
    Text = text;
    Value = value;
  }
  public string Text { get; set; }
  public double Value { get; set; }
  public override string ToString() {
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Text)) {
      return Text;
    }
    return base.ToString();
  }
}

ListView listView1; // initialized somewhere, I presume.

void Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  if ((listView1.SelectedItems != null) || (0 < listView1.SelectedItems.Count)) {
    ListViewItem item = listView1.SelectedItems[0];
    Eco y = item.Tag as Eco;
    if (y == null) {
      y = new Eco();
    }
    y.SetEcoValues(textBox1.Text, Convert.ToDouble(textBox2.Text));
    item.Text = y.Text;
    if (item.SubItems.Count < 2) {
      item.SubItems.Add(y.Value.ToString());
    } else {
      item.SubItems[1].Text = y.Value.ToString();
    }
    item.Tag = y;
  }
}
