  this works:

  <xsl:template
  match="read-access/namespace-resource/security-role-mapping[attribute::name='
   consoleadmins']/user[attribute::name='guestadmin']">
     <xsl:copy> 
     <xsl:attribute name="name">foo</xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template> 

since the xsl:copy in this case is always going to generate a user node
and the xsl:attribute is always going to generate a name attribute, you
don't really need either, it would be simpler, and equivalent to write:

<xsl:template
match="read-access/namespace-resource/security-role-mapping[attribute::name='consoleadmins']/user[attribute::name='guestadmin']">
     <user name="foo"/>
</xsl:template> 

also unless there are other security-role-mapping not under
namespace-resource you don't need to make the match pattern that long
either, something like

<xsl:template
match="security-role-mapping[@name='consoleadmins']/user[@name='guestadmin']">
     <user name="foo"/>
</xsl:template>
