The data after the OCTETSTRING is the content being signed passed using the
-in command line switch to the OpenSSL smime utility. So if you include the
correct content and sign with the correct key/certificate it should be
acceptable.

You can't use the asn1parse utility to change the OCTETSTRING on an existing
structure. It wouldn't help if you could because that structure contains a
digital signature later on and if you changed the content the signature would
no longer be valid.
