Can't say I am sure I understand what your problem is. But if you say:

x := :block.item;
Then modify x
Followed by
:block.item := x;

you should be able to do anything you wish.

But I am truly amazed by a CHAR(1500). This should be changed to a VARCHAR2 unless the point is to waste lots of space.
