Likely all that happened was the checksum for that sector became
corrupted.  All you would have to do it write that one byte... but how
to do it?  Diskdoctor might fix it, DiskSalv will recover your data.  I
have a program that will just patch the checksum (I wrote it but never
posted it).  If you can find a disk editor, such as DiskEd, you could
probably just read and re-write the sector, specifying first to fix the
checksum.
 
Not to worry, I doubt your data is damaged (except maybe that one file).
Don't re-format except as a very last resort.
