This is fairly straight forward, actually. It just sounds a little 
complex...
Mount the .iso file:
mkdir tmp
mount -o loop file.iso tmp/
mkdir newiso
cp -a tmp/* newiso

Make your modifications in the 'newiso' directory, and recreate the .iso:

mkisofs -A Slinky -V  Slinky-v0.3.92 -J -L -N -r -T -v -x ./lost+found \
- -b images/slinky-v0.3.92.img -c boot.cat -o slinky.iso newiso

If you need help, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
