There is no way of doing this without using some kind of non-standard software, but the least intrusive way is probably to use the Excel ODBC driver. That lets you read\write Excel sheets as if they were database tables using normal ADO.net code.

If you want to do this using code alone then you'll just have to learn the xslt format and write your own code for manipulating it.

Thank you.
Since we are using visual studio 2005 and .Net Framework 2.0, is there any other way to export it to .xlsx format.

You should be able to use the ODBC driver still, it is framework-agnostic.
