I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you want to do.
There's no way to change individual bytes inside a Lua string -- you have to
create another string.
So, if you want to edit a string, just do it in C (say, by changing
individual bytes or by appending something to it), and then send this string
to Lua, using lua_pushlstring.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
