In the case of using a Personal Geodatabase, I would first recommend a File Geodatabase for size and performance.

In either case you can pull in your feature class with the blob field and edit the features, click on the image column and select load to pull in the specific image you want.

You can use this detailed instructions for  Updating attributes of type raster at ArcGIS Desktop

Steps:

1. Add to ArcMap a feature class containing a raster field.
2. Click the Editor Toolbar button on the Standard toolbar.
3. Click the Editor menu on the Editor toolbar and click Start Editing.
4. Click the Edit tool on the Editor toolbar and click the feature.
5. Click the Attributes button on the Editor toolbar.
6. Click the attribute field containing the rasters.
7. Click the drop-down arrow and click Load.
8. Click the Input Raster Dataset browse button and navigate to the location of the raster dataset.
9. Click Add.The dialog will close if the raster field is unmanaged and the image will be displayed in the Attributes window.
10. If the raster field you created is managed, you can choose a compression method and value, then click OK.Since the raster dataset is being ingested into the geodatabase (because it is managed) it will be stored using this compression method.
11. Once the raster is loaded as an attribute, you can view and perform other edits on it. Click the drop-down arrow for the raster field select one of the options in the menu.
    • Click View to open the raster in a larger window.
    • Click Load to load a different image as the raster attribute.
    • Click Clear to delete the raster attribute.
    • Click Save As to export the raster.
    • Click Properties to view and edit the properties of the raster.
12. When you are done, close the Attributes window.
13. Click the Editor menu on the Editor toolbar and click Stop Editing.

You can also edit the raster attribute from within the attribute table. You need to be in a edit session. Click the raster drop-down arrow in the row you want to modify, right-click in the window that appears, then click Load.
