Maybe you could use yor embeded resource as a default file.
When your program first runs, it creates an identical file in say MyDocuments folder.
You could then update that file as needed, and always have your default file to fall back on

To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to edit an embedded resource at runtime.

You could stream the .csv data to a disk file and edit that though you wouldn't then be able to re-embed it at runtime.

A better idea would be to use a 'linked' resource though you'd then need to distribute the default .csv files with your application. If security is a problem, you could consider using isolated storage instead.
