Expose external flash as a mass storage device over USB, and allow writing/deleting of files. Use FAT for universal support, and allow special-cased files like config.txt or firmware.img. Possibly expose RAM as an overlay, and current firmware/config as read-only FS? Deal sensibly with erase.

You will need to manage exclusive access between the mass storage and the firmware. Computers tend to cache file systems and delay there writes. So its not a good idea to change anything on the filesystem will the device is plugged in.
