If at all possible, you should avoid rewriting the image of the JPEG
file with a graphics program. You'll loose image quality.
If at all possible, you should try to parse the JPEG file into (enough)
blocks), and insert a comment block at a break point. That sounds like a
job for Perl, for example. Ah, look, there exists a module to do the
nitty gritty for you: JPEG::Comment:

If you're not planning on using Perl but rather write your own, you
could use it as an example. There's only one function there, of 26
lines.
HTH,
Bart.
