Update particular tag in a XML file

Below is the content in my XML file

Code:

<name>XXX</name>
         <eventType>Uptime</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>
<name>YYY</name>
         <eventType>Uptime</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>
<name>ZZZ</name>
         <eventType>Uptime</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>
         <eventType>Delay</eventType>

I want to replace "Delay" as "Down" under name "XXX" only.

Is it possible to update using awk function. Please let me know the command.

Thanks,
Viswa
