You'd do this by setting the end-of-file first, and then writing starting from
there, which will automatically append, like this:
set f to open for access file "foo" with write permission
write "foobar" to f
set eof f to 0 -- f is now effectively empty.
write "boz" to f starting at eof
set c to read f from 1
close access f
c
--> "boz"
