Yes you can do that .its after all a data instance and you can open the record by using obj-open or obj-open by handle to open it and update as required and persist again.
if its is new record just set values to some temp page and persist it.

Please let me know what kind of file it is? ( is it excel ).
I am supposing your file will contain list of Data Table entries to be process.
You can update the existing entries by aquiring lock of existing entries and then set required properties to update and save the instance.
New entries can be added by creating new pages of your data table class and saving those page instance.
All these can be done in an Activity.
