You need to make use of Kudu Rest API via Powershell to access and replace a file in Kudu:-

Reference

My Azure DevOps Release pipeline:- Powershell Code:-

$userName = "`$siliconwebapp098"  
# Provide Password from WebDeploy Publish Profile  
$password = "xxxxxxx9reT0tX"  
# Encode username and password to base64 string  
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $userName, $password)))  
# Construct command API Body. DOS command to create a folder called TempLogsForDebugging  
$bodyToPOST = @{  
command = "md TempLogsForDebugging"
                 dir = "D:\home\site\wwwroot"  
}  
# Splat all parameters together in $param  
$param = @{  
            # command REST API url  
            Uri = "https://siliconwebapp098.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/command"  
            Headers = @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)}  
            UserAgent = "powershell/1.0"  
            Method = "POST"  
            Body = (ConvertTo-Json $bodyToPOST)  
            ContentType = "application/json"  
}  
# Invoke REST call  
Invoke-RestMethod @param

enter image description here

Output:-

One more alternative is to use Kudu Tasks Upload
