Here is the easiest way I know to do that:

Script started on Mon Apr  2 13:35:24 2001
[whit at giftie whit]$ wcmd
Could not stat /mnt/flotz (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
WCMD Version 0.15

C>exit
[whit at giftie whit]$ sed 's/flotz/floppy/' .wine/config |safe .wine/config
[whit at giftie whit]$ wcmd
Could not stat /mnt/flotz (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
[whit at giftie whit]$ killall -HUP clock
[whit at giftie whit]$ wcmd
WCMD Version 0.15

C>exit
[whit at giftie whit]$ exit

If you leave a wineserver running (some wine job or winelib program is
still running) nothing you do to config makes any difference (wineserver
has already read it).  I did that by running clock at a different tty.
After I killed clock,  wineserver terminated, so the next wcmd ran with
the corrected config file.

You could do it by setting WINEPREFIX, too, or running wine as a
different user than you think you are.
