How to edit a level in game?

How can I place a tile in the game while it is running? I can place empty tiles, but have not been able to place anything else.

I've tried making a new tile with

Tile tile = new Tile();

and then setting the ID of this new tile

tile.ID = 3;

and using the Put method

currentLevel.Put(tile, row, column);

however this always places a blank tile there.

How can I make it so I can change a tile into another tile?

Aha, I've actually solved my own problem.

I assumed they were blank tiles when in fact I had just not assigned a texture or name to them (That would explain my Draw method's exception for drawing a null texture)

To fix this, I assigned a name and a texture to my blank tile, just like I would in RealmFactory

tile.Name = "Tile";
tile.Texture = Game1.myTexture;

And I could then see the texture as well
