You can do that. To replace myfile.txt in the tag mytag with the older revision 123, you could do:

svn rm $URL/tag/mytag/myfile.txt
svn cp $URL/trunk/myfile.txt_at_123 $URL/tag/mytag

Or instead of using URLs you could work in a working copy of the tag, then commit the tag; this is probably better so you can test your changes in the tag first before committing everything:

svn co $URL/tag/mytag
cd mytag
svn rm myfile.txt
svn cp $URL/trunk/myfile.txt_at_123 .
svn ci
