Yes, it is possible to do what you want to do. Essentially, what you need to do is create a local repository containing the Centos 5.8 packages and upgrade your system using that repository.
Code:
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/dvd/iso
# mount -o loop /your.iso /var/www/html/dvd/iso
# cd /var/www/html/dvd
# createrepo .
# yum clean all
Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/file.repo which should have the contents as mentioned below:

yum-debug-restore
yum-debug-restore(1)yum-debug-restore(1)NAME
yum-debug-restore - replay Yum transactions captured in a debug-dump file
SYNOPSIS
yum-debug-restore
DESCRIPTION
yum-debug-restore is a program which takes a gzipped file created by yum-debug-dump and acts on the information about installed packages
contained within.
GENERAL OPTIONS --output
Output the commands that would be run to stdout.
--shell=<file>
Output the commands that would be run to a file.
--install-latest
Ask yum to install the latest version of the given packages, instead of the version that was installed in the debug-dump file.
--ignore-arch
Ignore the architecture of the packages, so you can "restore" an i386 debug-dump on an x86_64 machine.
--filter-types=[install,remove,update,downgrade]
Only perform the given types of commands, so you can filter to just upgrades and installs.
FILES
As yum-debug-restore uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like
which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/

unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
