How can I update the value of a particular element of the XML?

Input XML:
<a>
<b>111</b>
<c>
<d>
<e>
<f>
<g>666</g>
</f>
</e>
</d>
</c>
</a>

Output XML:
<a>
<b>111</b>
<c>
<d>
<e>
<f>
<g>2344555</g>
</f>
</e>
</d>
</c>
</a>
I need to update the value of <g> from 666 to 2344555 using XSL. I'm using XSLT 1.0.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks,
Susmitha

Are you modifying it because the value is 666, or because it's the g element?

Start with a copy template:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Depending on your condition it would be like so:
<xsl:template match="*[.=666]">
<xsl:copy>2344555</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

or like:
<xsl:template match="g">
