How to write strings to a txt in the xna content folder

I have a txt file that is in my content folder for my XNA game. I have been able to read data from that file using the stream reader; however I was not able to write strings to it using the stream*writer* because it says I cannot write to the stream.

I use the content folder so that I may store high scores externally and that I may publish the game with the high score txt. I need to add the string "OEB 3350" to this file.

The location of my file is "Content\leaderboard.txt"

How does one write to this txt file.

public void updateExternalLeaderboard() 
    {
        string[] leaderboardArray = new string[orderedScoreList.Count];

        System.IO.Stream stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("Content\\leaderboard.txt");
        System.IO.StreamWriter swriter= new System.IO.StreamWriter(stream);


        for (int p = 0; p < orderedScoreList.Count; p++) 
        {
            leaderboardArray[p] = orderedScoreList[p].initials + " " + orderedScoreList[p].scoreString;
            swriter.WriteLine(leaderboardArray[p]);
        }
        swriter.Close();

    }

Check out Saving Data to a Game File

You have to serialize and use a storage container. The tutorial has a full project so it has alot of methods to do it.
