Yes you can mount an ordinary file as a filesystem.
It works best if the file actually contains a filesystem :-)
see 'man mount' and read the section about the "LOOP DEVICE"
If you have a file '/path/image' and want to mount is as '/mnt/here'
do this:
mount -t iso -o loop=/dev/loop1 /path/image /mnt/here
when you are done:
umount /mnt/here
You will need appropriate permissions (root),
