How do I make a version become the new master?

I have a referenced master on my hard disk with file name "mike.jpg". I would like to edit the file "mike.jpg" in Aperture, and then save it back to the same location on the hard disk replacing the current "mike.jpg" with the edited "mike.jpg". I want the edited "mike.jpg" to be the new master in Aperture. I don't want to save the original "mike.jpg" in Aperture or on the hard disk.

Is this possible in Aperture and how would I do it?

I'm interested in purchasing Aperture but I first need to know if I can accomplish the above. Thanks!

No, that is not the job of Aperture. Aperture's number one priority is not changing your master. If you think you need to do that, you would have to change your workflow to use Aperture. Why, may I ask, is that so direly important in your decision to buy Aperture? A new version in Aperture is very, very inexpensive. In other words, you have your master file, several Megabytes long, and a new version is several Kilobytes.
