Hi @Sivanjaneyulu K ,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
Since this issue is more related to PowerShell, but the tag office-excel-itpro focuses on genral issues about Excel client, I will remove it.
Thanks for your understanding!

While the question asked about doing this in PowerShell, I don't think there's a way (or at least an easy way) to do this without C#.
So how would you do this using any MS supplied software, excluding any that relies on a GUI? That's right in line with the office "itpro" category.
Download DCOMFIX from here: 11.aspx
You can change the user by rewriting a registry key, but the password can't be done that way.
Yes, We can't update the password with this. But, My goal is need to update the User account and password.
Because every morning 6 AM I need to update My team domain account and Evening 6 PM, I need to update other team domain account to use the Microsoft Excel application. So, I want to avoid this manual efforts daily.!!
Have a look at the other EXE in that zip file: DCOMPERM. Something like this should work.
dcomperm -runas {12345678-1234-1234-1234-00aa00bbf7c7} redmond\jdoe password
No, Not working, Better we need to try different method. My case need to update APP ID {00020812-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} on Identity option as this user with Domain service account with Password.
"Not working" isn't a helpful description. Do you get an error? If so, what is it? Are you running it from an elevated prompt?
There's an open source version of dcomperm here: dcompermex . It's distributed as source code so you'll have to build the exe (using Visual Studio that should be easy enough). Or you can have a look at the code and find out how to set the user/password and get that to work in PowerShell.
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_DCOMApplicationSetting -Filter 'AppID="{00020812-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"'|Select -Property AppID,Caption,RunAsUser
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_DCOMApplicationSetting -Filter 'AppID="{00020812-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"'
I was able to get the information about what account is using for Microsoft Excel application, Any other way to set the run as user with domain account and password?
Any Other powershell scripts to update DCom settings?
How about this?
Provided script in Url, No Where else asking user name and Password to update the domain account.
