My mistake for not being clear:
I have an NSData in an object;
I read that data using a keyedArchiver to get to the chunk I want.
I want to replace a chunk of that data with another using the same key. (the file part is immaterial).

Archivers don’t directly know about files; they work on in-memory data. (Yes, there are convenience class methods for reading and writing a file, but they just call NSData methods to transfer the data to/from a file.)
