Can I configure, create/update the existing project in Hudson without using its user interface?
Is it possible by changing configuration file or other mean?

The Remote Access API page mentions that you an create/copy job with it.

Remote access API is offered in a REST-like style.
That is, there is no single entry point for all features, and instead they are available under the ".../api/" URL where "..." portion is the data that it acts on.

For example, if your Hudson installation sits at http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/, http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/api/ will give you HTML lists of all available functionality that act on the Hudson root.

On my Hudson, the /api address gives:

Create Job

To create a new job, post config.xml to this URL with query parameter name=JOBNAME.
You'll get 200 status code if the creation is successful, or 4xx/5xx code if it fails.
config.xml is the format Hudson uses to store the project in the file system, so you can see examples of them in /server/path/to/your/hudson/home.
