It's immutbility isn't a function of the media, but function of the structure
of the filesystem. It simply doesn't have an extents mechanism required to

Different type of filesystem designed for read only media.

To repeat: different type of filesystem designed for read only media.

It's a dead issue. Let it go and do what everyone else does: copy to a mutable
filesystem, modify, and rebuild the ISO. I did on my master MP3 CD this 
morning.
