How to edit XML by getting new tags for 'XXX', not so structured xml. Need help, I am very new to XML and XQuery. Have to get new tags (nodes) for X if it is none, in case of 1 need to insert 1 only. is there any way to manipulate string on larger scale

Okay, now the XML is valid...
Together with the information form your other question I'd suggest this approach:
I put your XML into a declared variable
declare @xml xml=
N'<NewAttributeRules>
<items>
<NewAttributeItem>
<Scale>CAAA</Scale>
<ScaleName>OC07</ScaleName>

--As before, the CTE will read the ScaleName for later grouping, but will let the whole node as is
WITH ScaleNames AS
(
SELECT ai.query('.') AS AiNode
,ai.value('(ScaleName)[1]','nvarchar(100)') AS ScaleName
FROM @xml.nodes('/NewAttributeRules/items/NewAttributeItem') AS A(ai)
WHERE ai.value('(Scale)[1]','nvarchar(100)')<>'***XXX***'
)
--This SELECT will rebuild the whole XML using the existing nodes and adding two times the XXX nodes.
SELECT
(
SELECT (
SELECT x.AiNode AS [node()]
FROM ScaleNames AS x
WHERE x.ScaleName=ScaleNames.ScaleName
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
) AS [node()]
,(SELECT
(SELECT '***XXX***' AS Scale, ScaleName, '' AS comment, '' AS positiveRules, '' AS negativRules FOR XML PATH('NewAttributeItem'),TYPE )
,(SELECT '***XXX***' AS Scale, ScaleName, '' AS comment, '' AS positiveRules, '' AS negativRules FOR XML PATH('NewAttributeItem'),TYPE)
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
) AS [node()]
FROM ScaleNames
GROUP BY ScaleName
ORDER BY ScaleName
FOR XML PATH(''),ROOT('items'),TYPE

The result
