I am just wondering how I can accomplish this
I have an instance started with initial data say ABC....
If I figure out some where in the middle of flow that the initial data should have been XYZ... and not ABC.. how I can repair this instance.
What exactly are you trying achieve? Can you elaborate the scenario.
I think using Webclient you can change the values of input container. But I think its not possible to go back to previous activities which are already been executed.
If you want to start the process from first activity with a new data set then kill the old one and create a new process.
If you want to correct data set for the remaining process flow then you can use webclient as CHF pointed out or you can write your own program.
Actually if you are in production and still don't have any administraion utility consider writing it..i am pretty sure you will encounter similar problems. It may not be bigger ...you may even extend the webclient _________________ -manoj

If data "ABC" caused your workflow to take a different path and later on in the model you realized that the data should have been "XYZ" would has a different path to follow in itself, restart the process.
It is NOT possible to model a loop back to the activity where the data was first incorrectly entered, so your best bet is to restart the process.
