  Everybody's been plugging their favorite free mastering/burning
software, so mine is: CDBurnerXP.

  You can use 7-Zip (also free, and Free, too) to extract the contents
of an ISO image.  It exposes the boot disk image in a "[BOOT]" virtual
folder.

  So:

1. Extract regular files and boot disk image (each to a different directory)
2. Modify extracted regular files
3. Remaster using CDBurnerXP, pointing at regular files and boot image
4. Burn to disc, or write to .ISO file

  I don't know if there are utilities which will edit an ISO image "in
place".  From what little I know of the ISO data structures, that
would be difficult.
