With the JPEG, you could equally just open it and correct the white
balance, couldn't you? Many photo editors allow this.

My editor (capture nx) has WB setting "greyed out" when I open a
jpeg. It will allow "colour balance" to be tweaked with rgb slider
controls, but this is *much* more fiddly than ajusting wb which is
just a matter of selecting the correct colour temperature.

Paint Shop Pro (and many other editors) have a colour temperature
adjustment method built in. Sorry to hear that Canon deny you that
possibility.
