    You do not have to regenerate the NIOS sub-system if you change the .hex file that you are using to initialize the memory.

    You only have to do 2 steps in Quartus:

    1) Run 'Update Memory Initialization File' in the Processing menu.

    2) Run 'Start Assembler' under 'Start' in the Processing menu.

    This will create a new SOF file using the new .HEX file.
