All that we need to do is open the file(using UTL_FILE),read it into CLOB and convert into XMLTYPE instance.Then the following code works:
for i in ( select EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/EMPNO') empno,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/ENAME') ename,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/JOB') job,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/MGR') mgr,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/HIREDATE') hiredate,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/SAL') sal,
EXTRACTVALUE(VALUE(t), '/EMP/COMM') comm
FROM TABLE(XMLSEQUENCE(EXTRACT(x, '/EMPLOYEES/EMP'))) t )
--where x is the XMLTYPE instance.

loop

Update EMP set ENAME=i.ename where EMPNO=i.empno;
if SQL%NOTFOUND then
insert into EMPNO values (i.empno,i.ename,i.job,i.mgr,i.hiredate,i.sal,i.comm)
