I don't understand what you mean by changing it from "C#, not Silverlight". C# is a programming language and Silverlight is a framework. Nevertheless, the link you posted to explains exactly how you do it. The ApplicationBar is not a Silverlight control, it's part of the native OS. You can use the code in the link or do something like this:

firstAppBarButton = (ApplicationBarIconButton)ApplicationBar.Buttons[0];
firstAppBarButton.Text = "New Text";
firstAppBarButton.IconUri = new Uri("/appbarIcon.png",UriKind.Relative);

You need to get the ApplicationBarIconButton via the index (0 for first one, 1 for second etc..) instead of by name.
