You can use vi -b for binary editing on unix (install vim if your standard vi doesn't support it). just don't add nor delete anything, overwrite with "R" command.

I'd test few different not-so-trivial scenarios like messing up a rollback segment header, a rollback segment block, some current online redo block etc.
