I'm not sure that it's possible to mount a CD R/W such that you can write
and read to it dynamically with random access.
Is it possible to do that in windows?

Take a look here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Writing_on_CD-RW.
It's for Gentoo, but it told me which kernel modules to search for and
they seem to be present on an FC7 machine (and also my Centos5 machine too).
[justin@zeus ~]$ locate pktcdvd
/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen/kernel/drivers/block/pktcdvd.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2952.fc6xen/kernel/drivers/block/pktcdvd.ko
/usr/include/linux/pktcdvd.h
Then if you look at
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/packet-writing-on-cdrw-and-dvdrw-media/,
you can find a method that talks about Fedora specifically, so you can
follow those instructions more closely.
Make sure to take special attention the warnings about CD degradation
and the likelihood of corrupted data from rewritable CDs.
