I am writing our Azure app to use Azure service configuration settings so we can change it in real time. I can test it by deploying and then changing them in the Azure web portal.
How do I allow changing service configuration in real time on my local azure compute emulator?

If you want to change web. config files you can use the Azure portal, there is a tool called "App Service Editor" in preview or Kudu that lets you edit any of the files you've deployed.
In the upper-left corner of the home page, select Create a resource. In the Search services and marketplace box, enter App Configuration and select Enter. Select App Configuration from the search results, and then select Create. Select the Azure subscription that you want to use to test App Configuration.
Azure Automation State Configuration is an Azure configuration management service that allows you to write, manage, and compile PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) configurations for nodes in any cloud or on-premises datacenter.
In order to update the service configuration you need to modify the *.cscfg file and execute csrun.exe (in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\Emulator):
csrun.exe /update:<deployment-id>;<service-configuration-file>
Note that this seems to work only when running the application without debugger.
I recently blogged about this here: Controlling your instances in the Windows Azure Compute Emulator (look under Handling the RoleEnvironment.Changing event in the emulator).
