    1. Mount the ISO:

      sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt/xxx

    2. Copy the whole lot to a directory (say ~/yyy), using -p to preserve ownership and permissions for the files:

      sudo cp -rp /mnt/xxx ~/yyy

    3. Make your changes to the directory of files.

    4. Create a new ISO from the directory:

      mkisofs -o xyz.iso ~/xxx

  2. You can, you just need to use mkisofs.

    Copy your content in a folder ' l'ets say FOO ), change things, and just run mkisofs FOO

    You can choose the name of the file with -o, like mkisofs -o foo.iso FOO

    Depending on the iso, you may need to add a bootloader, etc, if this to create a bootable cd.
