Attribute required = root.getElement("Property").getAttribute("Required");
required.setValue("false");

Of course, that assumes that the Entity one is always the first. If not...

List propertyElements = root.getChildren("Property");
for (Iterator i = propertyElements.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
    Element element = (Element)i.next();
    if (element.getText().equals("Entity")) {
        Attribute attribute = element.getAttribute("Required");
        attribute.setValue("false");
        break;
    }
}

Hope that helps,
Brett
