Answer 1

You can use the Windows API Code Pack. It has wrappers for the Windows Property System.

Answer 2

Just an addition to Eli Arbels answer, an example from the documentation from the Windows API Code Pack (which works very well for us):

IShellProperty prop = ShellObject.FromParsingName(fileName).Properties.GetProperty(propertyName);

if (prop.ValueType == typeof(string))
{
    (prop as ShellProperty<string>).Value = value;
}
