Well, you might try mounting it with `-o rw,loop', but I don't know that
that's going to work. It's quite possible that ISO-9660 filesystems are
always read-only, even when on writable media.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to mount the image like you did
originally, copy all of the files onto a normal writable filesystem (some
directory on your hard disk will work nicely), replace the three damaged
files in this directory, then rebuild the ISO image with mkisofs or
mkhybrid.
