Replacing a Cookie instance

According to MS, the CookieContainer.SetCookies Method "ADDS Cookie instances for one or more cookies from an HTTP cookie header to the CookieContainer for a specific URI," but what if I wanted to REPLACE a Cookie instance?  The below creates two instances of the same header.  I just want one.

Uri uri = new Uri(url);

Console.WriteLine(MyHttpRequest.CookieContainer.GetCookieHeader(uri));
// displays "MyCookie: MyValue"

MyHttpRequest.CookieContainer.SetCookies(uri,"MyCookie: MyNewValue);

Console.WriteLine(MyHttpRequest.CookieContainer.GetCookieHeader(uri));
// displays "MyCookie: MyNewValue; MyCookie: MyValue," rather than just "MyCookie: MyNewValue"

The Request object is what you received from the client.  If you want to send a cookie back you need to use the Response object
