Thank you for elaborating it further.

You may create or update NamedDestinatination with below code snippet:

Document pdf = new Document();
// Create document with 10 pages
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    Page page = pdf.Pages.Add();
    page.AddStamp(new Aspose.Pdf.TextStamp("Page " + i));
    // Named destinations for every page
    pdf.NamedDestinations.Add("Page" + i, new XYZExplicitDestination(i, 0, 600, 0.5));
}
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    // Create outlines for each page
    OutlineItemCollection item1 = new OutlineItemCollection(pdf.Outlines);
    item1.Destination = new NamedDestination(pdf, "Page" + i);
    item1.Title = "Page  " + i;
    pdf.Outlines.Add(item1);
}
// Update one of the named destinations
pdf.NamedDestinations["Page5"] = new XYZExplicitDestination(5, 0, 100, 2);
pdf.Save(dataDir + "NamedDestinaion.pdf");

Please refer to the code snippet below which is based on above suggestions. We have also attached a screenshot of generated PDF document which pictorially explains your requirements, that can be achieved with this code:

Destination.PNG

// Load the PDF file
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "samplepdf Input file.pdf");
// Named destinations for the page
doc.NamedDestinations.Add("Page1" , new XYZExplicitDestination(1, 0, 600, 0.5));
// Get the first link annotation from first page of document
LinkAnnotation linkAnnot = (LinkAnnotation)doc.Pages[1].Annotations[1];
// Modification link: change link destination
GoToAction goToAction = (GoToAction)linkAnnot.Action;
// Specify the destination for link object
goToAction.Destination = new NamedDestination(doc, "Page1");
doc.Save(dataDir + "NamedDestinaion_updated.pdf");
