@AASHUTOSHSHRIVASTAVA Try the 2nd fiddle demo. There's a lot of alerts, but it does show the value changed.

Thanks Satinder. Can you help me to print both the xml file in HTML page

@AASHUTOSHSHRIVASTAVA That's not how SO works. If you have another question then please ask another question, otherwise this page becomes a specific "how do I make MY site do what I want" page.

Try this

    var xml =$('<XMLDocument />')
    xml.append($('<TaxPayer/>')
               .append($('<PersonalInformation/>')
                       .append($('<FirstName/>').text('aashu')))); 
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml );
var $xml = $( xmlDoc );
alert(xml.html());
xml.find('TaxPayer').find('FirstName').text('shri');
alert(xml.html());

This may help. live demo
