WinAPI Function to modify EXE resources

Is there a WinAPI function which modifies resources (e.g. resource strings,
bitmaps, icons etc.)? There are plenty for reading them (LoadResource and so
on) but I cannot find any which modify the contents of a resource. Clearly
it must be possible to do this, since resource editors exist which modify
EXE files.

Any help much appreciated.

Richard.
