When I right click on the table, I get the option to Edit TOP 200 rows. I went to option and changed this to TOP 1 row. Now when i open that row, that is not the latest but the last row of my database.

How can I Edit the latest row inserted in my table?

by using an "ORDER BY RECORDID DESC" clause in your SQL??
ordering of data (of which the terms "first" and "last" is covered) is only guaranted by use of the ORDER BY clause.

why are you trying to edit through grid?
you can never guarantee that records will be retrieved in order of insertion in table unless you specify order explicitly with help of order by
