Ok, I see now.  Yes you could do this sort of task with python.  You
would write a deamon to accept those packets on some other port,
parses and rewrites the body, then sends it out to the real
destination.  Use iptables to redirect incoming packets to be
intercepted by your daemon rather than being forwarded out the other
interface.
