I need to change the value of a List Control in a Word Document using C#

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
            var wordApp = new Word.Application();
            wordApp.Visible = true;
            Word.Documents docs = wordApp.Documents;
            Word.Document doc = docs.Open(@"c:\temp\test3.docx", Type.Missing, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
            Word.Range range = doc.Range(0, 0);

            foreach (Word.ContentControl word_cc in doc.ContentControls)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(word_cc.Range.Text + "\r\n" + word_cc.Title + "\r\n" + word_cc.Tag);
                //word_cc.Range. = "Female";
                if (word_cc.Title=="Gender")
                {
                    string s1=word_cc.DropdownListEntries.ToString();
                    MessageBox.Show(s1);
                }

            }

            doc.Close(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
            wordApp.Quit(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
