So how to write a object's data like in above lines into custom table and

It's not overwriting the old object, it is creating a new object each time
the custom action is invoked so you can't save state like this. A better
approach would be to write the object's data into a custom table. When you

For #2, if the file is being installed by a Component then the file will be
removed on uninstall like any other file.
For #1, use the &feature-condition syntax shown at
