You can do something similar to the following:

Basically, have your trigger call a asynchronous web service.  Then your web service can update the objects.

How are you getting your 'XML file'? Will the user upload it from a VF page? Will it be accssed from an external service? If latter then, follow the link posted by the previous user.
