Two questions. How often does the array change, and how big does it get? It may well be that you just copy it and take the hit, as that'll be cheaper (even in C, incidentally) than any other solution, if it's a short array or if the updates happen rarely.
If not, try using Data.Array.Diff and replaceDiffArray. This is usually fairly efficient for most applications. By the way, depending on the type of the data you're putting into these arrays, Data.ByteString might be a good choice as well.
