Well, your server seems to use quota_legacy database backend which means you can edit the file while Cyrus is stopped. I just said it is in fact possible to change the used backend to something else - but that's not your case. But you still could do it with the quota command, just call it from a script, no matter if it's bash, perl, php whatever. You may find some examples in the list archives how others did it.
