Are you sure you tried it with 'w' as the mode?
In [1]: !cat foo.ini
[section1]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir: foo
In [2]: fn = 'foo.ini'
In [3]: import ConfigParser
In [4]: cfg = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
In [5]: cfg.read(fn)
Out[5]: ['foo.ini']
In [6]: cfg.set('section1', 'dir', 'anotherdir')
In [7]: f = open(fn, 'w')
In [8]: cfg.write(f)
In [9]: f.close()
In [10]: !cat foo.ini
[section1]
foodir = %(dir)s/whatever
dir = anotherdir
