Todas las otras respuestas hacen uso de ResXResourceWriter, pero para algunos casos especiales puede ser Es posible y mejor simplemente trabajar con el archivo Resources.resx como un documento XML.
Tengo una situación específica en la que deseo manipular las entradas de Resources.resx para un conjunto de archivos de iconos. Puede haber hasta varios cientos de entradas, y puedo contar con ellos todo se ve exactamente como esto:
<data name="Incors_workplace2_16x16" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>..\..\..\..\..\..\Icons\Incors-workplace2-16x16.png;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</value>
</data>
He intentado utilizar ResXResourceWriter y ResXResourceReader para este programa, pero terminé en lugar de abrir los diversos archivos Resources.resx como documentos XML y manipularlos de esa manera. Todo el programa es demasiado extenso (y también específico de la aplicación) para publicarlo aquí, pero publicaré algunos tocones de código para mostrar algunas de las técnicas que se pueden usar.

Me gustaría saber qué caso (s) de uso. Tengo un cliente que desea modificar los recursos sobre la marcha, pero todo esto parece antinatural y contrario a los propósitos de los archivos de recursos. – MrBoJangles
