This was implemented quite a long time ago.

Change the context type of the data to public_content_t (for read-only
data) or public_content_rw_t for data that one of the daemons needs to
be able to write.

Then allow whichever daemons need write access to this data by setting
the appropriate booleans:

allow_ftpd_anon_write
allow_httpd_anon_write
allow_httpd_sys_script_anon_write
allow_rsync_anon_write
allow_smbd_anon_write

So in your case you'd want:

# setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write 1
