Thanks for answering, but I want the at completion duration to be fixed as 50 days, not to be driven by units. Actually, I have tried to apply the example in the link below (for fixed duration and units/time) as an exercise. I guess in the example they didnt updated the schedule, just changed remaining duration but what I think is, applying an update for 25 days should automatically change actual duration to 25 days (as on the activity's calendar) and remaining duration to original duration - 25 days for a started activity.

you have 2 options 

option #1 

physcial % complete will never change the remaining duration. One work around is that after you are done updateing run a global change to make the duration % complete equal the physcial % complete

Tools 

Global change

add

Where Physical % complete    is greather than      0

Ten Duration % complete     = Physcial % Complete

on the right Change

Option #2 

if you want to have your units drive the durations chnage the duration type to fixed units
