You mount .iso through loop device and copy/rsync the content. Here is
and example:
sudo mount -o loop fileName.iso /mnt
cp -pr /mnt/* destinationDir/
# or: rsync -a --progress /mnt/* destinationDir/
sudo umount /mnt
If you want to make this bootable, copy the content to empty disk
partition, make it bootable by grub2.
Ubuntu CDs/DVDs typically use combination of Syslinux and Grub2
selected by BIOS/UEFI respectively to boot from the media:
