How to open and paste a new table everytime in an already existing word document in Apache poi?

There is already an existing word document with the header and footer and some text in the front page. The body of the word document is empty. I need to create a table everytime (or overwrite the previous)which is in the second page of the word document. I am creating a table from scratch and trying the update the word document. However I am getting an error. Below is my code

  XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(OPCPackage.open(source
                                                        + "Testword.docx"));

    //create table
    XWPFTable table = document.createTable();

    //create first row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowOne = table.getRow(0);
    tableRowOne.getCell(0).setText("col one, row one");
    tableRowOne.addNewTableCell().setText("col two, row one");
    tableRowOne.addNewTableCell().setText("col three, row one");

    //create second row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowTwo = table.createRow();
    tableRowTwo.getCell(0).setText("col one, row two");
    tableRowTwo.getCell(1).setText("col two, row two");
    tableRowTwo.getCell(2).setText("col three, row two");

    //create third row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowThree = table.createRow();
    tableRowThree.getCell(0).setText("col one, row three");
    tableRowThree.getCell(1).setText("col two, row three");
    tableRowThree.getCell(2).setText("col three, row three");


    document.write(new FileOutputStream(source
                                        + "Testword.docx")); // This line is generating an error

The error is

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.poi.ooxml.POIXMLException: java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

public static void main(String[] args) throws InvalidFormatException, IOException {
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("D:\\Testword.docx");
    XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(is);
    is.close();

    //create table
    XWPFTable table = document.createTable();

    //create first row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowOne = table.getRow(0);
    tableRowOne.getCell(0).setText("col one, row one");
    tableRowOne.addNewTableCell().setText("col two, row one");
    tableRowOne.addNewTableCell().setText("col three, row one");

    //create second row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowTwo = table.createRow();
    tableRowTwo.getCell(0).setText("col one, row two");
    tableRowTwo.getCell(1).setText("col two, row two");
    tableRowTwo.getCell(2).setText("col three, row two");

    //create third row
    XWPFTableRow tableRowThree = table.createRow();
    tableRowThree.getCell(0).setText("col one, row three");
    tableRowThree.getCell(1).setText("col two, row three");
    tableRowThree.getCell(2).setText("col three, row three");


    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("D:\\Testword.docx");

    document.write(fileOutputStream);
    fileOutputStream.close();
}
