built-in hex editor?

I'm using Mac OS 10.2.2 and I need to find a command line hex editor. I figure there's already one built-in, but I just don't know enough about Unix, yet. Basically, what I want to do is tell the hexeditor to open a file, replace a specific offset with a new value, then put the resulting file somewhere. For example:

hexeditor inputfile offset newvalue > outputfile

It would also be nice to be able to specify the block size, since I am used to looking at the code in byte-sized chunks (pun not intended). Can anyone tell me which command(s) would get this done?
