Are there any GIT commands by which I can achieve the above desired results?

The only way I could do it is to edit .gitmodules separately and update the 
submodules contents.

You treat .gitmodules as a git config file, and use git config to read/write it

To write,
git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.XXX.path https://example.com/XXX.git

To list all,
git config --file=.gitmodules -l

Are these commands are correct to edit and update a submodule path?

$ git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.XXX.url https://example.com/XXX.git
$ git submodule sync
$ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

How can these commands be implemented in TortoiseGIT?

Please give me an idea on how can i implement it.
