You can't mount /KNOPPIX read-write, because it is a on read-only
medium. However, /etc/apache/httpd.conf is just a symlink in the ramdisk
which points to /KNOPPIX/etc/apache/httpd.conf. So, if you just replace
the symlink with its target, you are able to modify the file
afterwards:

rm -f /etc/apache/httpd.conf
cp /KNOPPIX/etc/apache/httpd.conf /etc/apache

echo "blablabla" >> /etc/apache/httpd.conf

bye,
