I have to add and remove some files from the tree, but all other things

mount r/w.
ISO9660 isn't intended to be a fully read-write format.
You can replace files with later versions by adding them to the end of
a multi-session image, but that doesn't actually remove the original
from the earlier session.
Occasionally I will do things like this by copying the files out of
the image, modifying the filesystem, and writing them back to a new
image, but that technique doesn't automatically give me the same set
of options on the 9660 filesystem. Typically, I don't care -- I want
to use a specific new set of options anyway -- but it's not quite what
you asked for.
Sounds good, but the problems are that the ISO is bootable and it violates the
ISO9660 standard in numerous ways. I have trouble figuring out how much
standard-compliance I can turn off while still producing a readable CD-ROM.
In theory, it would be possible to do this, but it would be very
inefficient. It would require making a new ISO image with every
modification.
Good luck.
