Netgraph node to replace packet contents?

There is no such node.

This is not an easy task to alter some abstract packet. Even in 
simpliest case you should take into account TCP/UDP checksumms. There 
could be problems with fragmented packets. In more complicated cases may 
be required other modifications.

To replace string with different length one you should also correct 
packet length. It is possible for UDP (except for the not first packet 
fragments), but for TCP it is probably completely impossible without 
doing complete TCP proxying to modify sequence numbers.
