I'm pretty sure that directory is Read Only: See Access Denied Installed Location.
Why would you want to write to that directory in the first place? Why not go through the normal update process?

Your package location is read-only by design. If you want to replace those contents at runtime, then take this strategy:
Note that you can use ms-appx:/// and ms-appdata://local/ URIs to get to files via StorageFile.getFileFromApplicationUriAsync, rather than getting a StorageFolder first. This can simplify the code.
