just provide a variable in place of request body:

{{requestBody}}

And modify this from pre-request script

pm.variable.set("requestBody", JSON.stringify( { "name":"test"} ))

pm.request.body='{"name":"age"}'

How did you try this?

Can you provide a screenshot?

The above examples are replacing the body.

If you want to append, you can do it using the following method.

const body = JSON.parse(pm.request.body.raw); // retrieve current body
// update the body\object as appropriate
pm.request.body.raw = body; // write back updated body
