I presume this is in a webpart if so try the following to see if it works :)

        SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;

        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

        SPList list = Web.Lists["MyList"];

        SPListItem oListItem = List.Items[1];

        oListItem["Name"] = TextBox_Name.Text;
        oListItem.Update();

        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

also like others have noted that you need to check your list name is called "MyList" and its "Name" that you want to update ;)

hope it helps :)
