  If you want to show table in your word through Spire.Doc, first, do you want to replace a table or just to show a table?

  If you want to replace some data, I recommend you can delete the original table , then create a new table which data is from database.

  also how can i replace value in word footer

  For this issue, the same method, you can try to delete the original footer in your word , then create new footer to your word by using Spire.Doc.

  For these functions, you can refer to the following code, i have made a simple example :

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using Spire.Doc;
  using Spire.Doc.Fields;
  using System.Drawing;
  using Spire.Doc.Documents;
  using System.Data.SqlClient;
  using System.Configuration;
  using System.Data;

  Here is the code:

              //load your word
              Document doc = new Document();
              doc.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\yongqy\Desktop\WordTable.docx");
              Section section = doc.Sections[0];
  
              //delete footer
              section.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;
              section.HeadersFooters.FirstPageFooter.Paragraphs.Clear();
  
              // create new footer
              HeaderFooter footer = section.HeadersFooters.Footer;
              //Create a paragraph as the Footer.
              Paragraph footerParagraph = footer.AddParagraph();
              //Input the text in the paragraph.
              footerParagraph.AppendText("New Footer");// write the footer text you want
              //Set Horizon of the paragraph.
              footerParagraph.Format.HorizontalAlignment = Spire.Doc.Documents.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
              //Put the paragraph into the Footer.
              section.HeadersFooters.FirstPageFooter.Paragraphs.Add(footerParagraph);
  
  
              //remove table
              section.Tables.RemoveAt(0);
             
              //create new table
              Table table = section.AddTable(true);
              //get data from database
              SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
              con.Open();
              SqlDataAdapter adpbp = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Employee ", con);
              DataSet dsbp = new DataSet();
              adpbp.Fill(dsbp);
              DataTable dt = dsbp.Tables[0];
  
              //Add Cells
              table.ResetCells(dt.Rows.Count + 1, dt.Columns.Count);
  
              //Header Row
              TableRow FRow = table.Rows[0];
              FRow.IsHeader = true;
              //Row Height
              FRow.Height = 23;
              //Header Format
              FRow.RowFormat.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
              for (int i = 0; i < dt.Columns.Count; i++)
              {
                  //Cell Alignment
                  Paragraph p = FRow.Cells[i].AddParagraph();
                  FRow.Cells[i].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Middle;
                  p.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                  //Data Format
                  TextRange TR = p.AppendText(dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToString());
                  TR.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
                  TR.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14;
                  TR.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Teal;
                  TR.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
              }
  
              //Data Row
              for (int r = 0; r < dt.Rows.Count; r++)
              {
                  TableRow DataRow = table.Rows[r + 1];
  
                  //Row Height
                  DataRow.Height = 20;
  
                  //C Represents Column.
                  for (int c = 0; c < dt.Rows[r].ItemArray.Count(); c++)
                  {
                      //Cell Alignment
                      DataRow.Cells[c].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Middle;
                      //Fill Data in Rows
                      Paragraph p2 = DataRow.Cells[c].AddParagraph();
                      TextRange TR2 = p2.AppendText(dt.Rows[r][c].ToString());
                      //Format Cells
                      p2.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                      TR2.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
                      TR2.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12;
                      TR2.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Brown;
                  }
              }
  
              //Save and Launch
              doc.SaveToFile(@"C:\Users\yongqy\Desktop\WordTable.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
              //Convert to PDF 
              doc.SaveToFile(@"C:\Users\yongqy\Desktop\WordTable.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
              System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Users\yongqy\Desktop\WordTable.pdf");
