You are probably better deleting the cookie and recreating rather than trying to modify it.

Why are you storing data in a cookie?

This is a bad way to store data and should be avoided if you can as cookie carry allot of overhead as they need to be set back and forth between the server and the web browser for each connection to the website. So if a page has 30 images the cookie would be sent to the server 30 times for each connection.

In addition the data can be read and modified by the visitor on their computer so is not secure or reliable.

As long as the data does not need to be persistent and stored on the visitors computer for multiple visits to the website I would say you would be better off storing the data in a session variable.
