I needed more info because I want to now is you application web or desktop. If you want to use EDM you should to use using() code block. For example:

 public void SaveUser(User oldUser)
    {
        using (MyEntity myEntity= new MyEntity ())
        {
            var user = myEntity.Users.Where(u => u.UserId == oldUser.UserId).Single();
            user.UserName = oldUser.UserName;
            // and other changes
            myEntity.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
