Linux is very easy compared to anything else.
Try a live linux distro. I like sysrescuecd on USB.

You need to have the k3flasher working to read and write the firmware.
I haven't used that for a while and not for the dev id.
I think a plain text exitor will work.

Edit1: Now I am sure you are right about needing a binary file editor or hex editor because the devid.img file is binary. There are many ways to edit the file. I haven't really tried so you need to experiment.
