Answer 1

[HttpPut]
public HttpResponseMessage PutProduct(Product p)
{
    Product pro = _products.Find(pr => pr.Id == p.Id);

    if (pro == null)
        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);

    pro.Id = p.Id;
    pro.Name = p.Name;
    pro.Description = p.Description;

    return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}

Answer 2

You have two options for updating email and password separately.

A) Don't use PUT, use POST

B) Create child resources for updating the individual elements, e.g.

PUT /api/user/123/email

And

PUT /api/user/123/password
