namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            IList<Paragraph> paragraphs = doc.GetParagraphs();

            for (int i = 0; i < paragraphs.Count; i++)
            {
                for (int j = paragraphs[i].Content.Count - 1; j >= 0; j--)
                {
                    if (paragraphs[i].Content[j] is SimpleVariableSetField)
                    {
                        SimpleVariableSetField field = (SimpleVariableSetField)paragraphs[i].Content[j];

                        if (field.Name == "CustomerID")
                        {
                            field.Value = "12345";
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Odf
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Odf.Fields

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)

        Dim doc As New TextDocument("c:\test\input.odt")

        Dim paragraphs As IList(Of Paragraph) = doc.GetParagraphs()

        For i As Integer = 0 To paragraphs.Count - 1
            For j As Integer = paragraphs(i).Content.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1

                If TypeOf paragraphs(i).Content(j) Is SimpleVariableSetField Then
                    Dim field As SimpleVariableSetField = DirectCast(paragraphs(i).Content(j), SimpleVariableSetField)

                    If field.Name = "CustomerID" Then
                        field.Value = "12345"
                    End If
                End If

            Next
