iso9660 filesystem is readonly, so you will need to regenerate the iso. 
You can still do this step to access the files for rebuilding it. (Note 
the type is iso9660 not iso)

So mount the iso, and copy all the files out of the iso into a prototype 
directory where you make your changes. Something like rsync -a ./src/ 
./dst/ would do the trick.

The iso is probably a floppy emulated cd. See if one of the files in the 
iso is a floppy image. If you can't find it, just download a boot floppy 
from one of the bootdisk sites, and place it inside the prototype 
directory where you are making changes.

Then rebuild the iso:

mkisofs -b ./path_inside_cdproto_dir/bootfloppy.img \
-o bootcd.iso ./cdproto_dir/

Burn that.
