You can't do it like that. Try making a directory, mount the iso, copy all the files from the iso to the directory, make your changes, then use mkisofs to make a new iso.

Probably a fundamental lack of knowledge on my part, but I am running the following command mount -w -oloop /tmp/blah.iso /mnt/cdrom I want to replace a file in blah.iso, then write blah.iso to a cdrom Mount says the fs is rw, but when I try to replace the file, it tells me the fs is read only and I can't replace the file. I notice that on mount, /mnt/cdrom goes to r-xr-xr-x on umount, /mnt/cdrom reverts to rwxr-xr-x I haven't had this problem with doing this before - does anyone know what is likely to be causing this behaviour? Box is running RH9.
