Not exactly the way you are looking for,
but it does exactly what you want:

http://bvi.sourceforge.net/

The bvi is a display-oriented editor for binary files (hex editor), based on the vi texteditor. If you are familiar with vi, just start the editor and begin to edit! A bmore program is also included in the package.
