Unfortunately you've crossed out of iPhone app territory and into the Emacs side where I can't help you very much.

My (hacky) solution would be to use a 'org-mobile-post-push-hook' to run a sed command on the generated index.org file to do your substitution.  I think this should work, but I'm sure there is a much smarter way to do it.

There's an example that scp's the generated files here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-up-the-staging-area.html#Setting-up-the-staging-area

You would probably do the same, except use a sed command instead of scp (since your files are staged directly to your mounted WebDAV folder).
