Of course that does not work since the first ]]> will close the CDATA

You need to break that up into two CDATA sections e.g.
<replace><![CDATA[]]]]><![CDATA[></text>]]></replace>

XmlWriter can free you from such hassles by using the WriteCData method
e.g. the above will be created by

writer.WriteStartElement("replace");
writer.WriteCData("]]></text>");
writer.WriteEndElement();
