I don't know what you are doing and don't know the content but i will give you a sample
var xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
  xmldoc .Load(" your file");

var element = xmldoc .SelectSingleNode("the text of line you are trying to comment");

var comment = xmldoc .CreateComment(element.OuterXml);

element.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(comment, element);

  xmldoc .Save("new file name");

var xmldoc1 = new XmlDocument();
  xmldoc1.Load("new file which saved ");

var comment2 = xmldoc1.SelectSingleNode("Comment lIne");
var newNode = xmldoc1.CreateDocumentFragment();
newNode.InnerXml = comment2.InnerText;
comment2.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(newNode, comment2);
document2.Save("File name");

This is the basic idea not sure whether it works or not

You have to load and separate the node you have to comment from your XML create a new comment which should contain the node that you have to comment add this to original node and remove it and save xmldoc to file
