A:
Unfortunately the metadata APIs (i.e. the ones that reason about the CSDL/MSL/SSDL) are read-only. So unless you write your own API to help you create appropriate XML, you are out of luck.

EF v4 will support "Code Only" EDMs that may be modifiable at runtime.

Well the EDM might be modifyable at runtime, the class upon which the model is based, are not. So you are limited to a sub-set of what your CLR classes define.
