To replace the 12th index, you could do:

changetype: modify
delete: olcAccess
olcAccess: {11}

^ deletes the 12th index, since it is ZERO based.  If you want the 13th
index ({12}), adjust appropriately.

changetype: modify
add: olcAccess
olcAccess: {11} <new rule>

So in order to modify olcAccess: {11}, you first have to delete it and
then re-add it? There is no way to modify it in place and change its
contents?

No.  What I generally do is read the value, store that, tweak it how I want, and then write it back (delete, add modified value).  What's handed with the way things are ordered in cn=config is that you don't have to run the delete command against the full exact value, but only the index.
