    There is no direct way to edit a file in a squashfs, you can't change the file type. You are trying to solve the wrong problem. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Commented Mar 5, 2022 at 6:05
  • im trying to modify a product for my own purposes!now i understand it might be confusing but i dont have other options to do,but for now i`ll try to install the product from somewhere else so the issues with snap will be done Commented Mar 5, 2022 at 6:09
  • @GitLover you need to figure out how the squashfs you're mounting was created. Then you modify things before they get put into the squashfs, run the same process, get a different squashfs. As user10489 points out, you're doing something unlikely to be sensible. Instead of trying to modify a snap, you need to modify a non-snap version of the software. Commented Mar 5, 2022 at 11:14
  • Or find a config option that does the same thing, or figure out how to get the snap to use an external library instead of its built in version. Commented Mar 5, 2022 at 11:59
