I can confirm that you can access the comments like so in older versions of Cheerio:

var $comments = $("*").contents().filter(function () {
    return this.nodeType === 8;
});

$comments.each(function(){
    // read the existing comment
    console.log(this.data);

    // change it to something else
    this.data = "something else";
});

What versions?

Seems to be working for me in "cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.2"
