c# change FileVersionInfo for any file

Hi experts.

With FileVersionInfo class is very easy to read file extra information, but is there any way i can change it?

Thanks.

A: 

There's no class in the .NET Framework that lets you do that easily. File version data is stored as a native resource, so it can be changed by functions like BeginUpdateResource. But it requires detailed knowledge about the format in which it's are stored in the executable.

I only want to change the file description of any file... is not a standard format?

It's standard in the way that all Win32 executables use the same format. But it's not easy to change.
