I think that Packetyzer www.packetyzer.com (Windows GUI + ethereal based lib)  has a feature to edit and replay packets.

Maybe it hasn't all the features you want.

 

If you are using e.g. Linux you could maybe look at tcpreplay.

There is also a program called netdude that can be used as a packet editor for libpcap files.

 

Someone started to implement a packet generator in Ethereal a while ago:
