1) In case with the "serial cable", you are refering to a USB-Blaster Cable, than you can use the Nios IDE software to download your software in the flash memory.

2) Some development boards, such as these from TerasIC have a software utility by which you can download whatever file from your PC onto the memories on your board.

3) You can of course also make a small Nios-II processor that takes input from your serial cable via a UART and fills the information in the Flash memory.
