    RWDataGroup is not a variable property, but rather an actual property of the member. To edit it, you need to create a WritableMember object and save that.

    ' retrieve your original scenario somehow, this comes from the current Workflow
Dim myScen As Member = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMember(si, dimtype.Scenario.Id, si.WorkflowClusterPk.ScenarioKey)
' set up a writable object
Dim newScen As New WritableMember(myscen)
' change properties, including ReadWriteDataGroup
newScen.Name = "ABC"
' when done, save it back.
brapi.Finance.MemberAdmin.SaveMemberInfo(si, True, newScen, False, Nothing, False, Nothing, False)
