Let's take a look at how we can change the data after inserting it. This is done in the SQL world by issuing an UPDATE command. In the Entity Framework world, you do not need to perform this step. Instead, we just need to find an instance of an object in the collection, change its properties, and then call the familiar SaveChanges method. Now, we just need to get an object from the database to update. You just saw how to do this in the Querying data in a database section. Here is what the update code looks like:

person.LastName = "Benson";
context.SaveChanges();
}
