Presuming ExtendScript, here is DOM code for changing the blend mode without selecting the top layer, regardless of the layer name:

app.activeDocument.layers[0].blendMode = BlendMode.EXCLUSION;

Or by selecting the top layer, then changing it's blend mode, regardless of the layer name:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.blendMode = BlendMode.EXCLUSION;

Edit:

I you want to use the explicit layer name:

app.activeDocument.layers.getByName("Layer 2").blendMode = BlendMode.EXCLUSION;

or

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.getByName("Layer 2");
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.blendMode = BlendMode.EXCLUSION;

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? Can there be more Layers in the image?
