Maybe something like this:

product = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.item ('Product'); 
product.xmlElements.item ('Table').xmlElements.item ('ART_PRICE').contents = '0.0';

But I don't really know much about XML. A better approach would be to search for any ART_PRICE tag, no matter where in the tree's hierarchy it is. All the suggestions here assume that ART_PRICE is at level three as a child of Product. I think that an approach along the lines that Stefan Rakete suggested, using XPath, is the way to go, but I don't know how that works.
