So the Question remains what are you trying to do? Install an OS? Play audio? what? Without you explaining the context of your need to mount but not open which BTW are one and the same thing when it comes to .iso, .dmg, .cdr, .sparseimage and many other multi file/disk archiving formats. To put it simply mounting an ISO ie double click the .iso file to open it is THE SAME as burning it to a physical disk and then putting it back in the drive to read the data off it it is read only. ISO files are not read/write. For clarification how would you do this on a windows box? I think you are asking the wrong question. if you are looking to create an expandable archive then you can use the disk utility to create a NEW image of a set size which is read/write which will pre-allocate the disk space straight away. Or you can create a sparseimage which is also read/write but will grow in disk size up to a set limit. These are not iso standard but there are a few utils around which will burn their contents to disk if needed or convert them to other formats.
