You do it with the GetAssemblyIdentity task:

<Target Name="Version">
  <GetAssemblyIdentity
      AssemblyFiles="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\src\MyApp\bin\MyApp.exe">
  <Output
      TaskParameter="Assemblies"
      ItemName="AssemblyIdentities"/>
  </GetAssemblyIdentity>
  ...
</Target>

AssemblyIdentities is just a variable name. It could also be named MyAssemblyIdentities like in the MSDN link. The Version property reads the Version from your AssemblyInfo.cs.

Also this SO answer provides some examples on how to use GetAssemblyIdentity.

Right-click Project->Properties->Assembly Information or (when have already created the properties) in project manager Properties->AssemblyInfo.cs.

Edit: For auto-modification from msbuild, you can use:

<FileUpdate Files="AssemblyInfo.cs"
   Regex="(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)"
   ReplacementText="$1.$2.$3.$(Revision)" />
