I'm trying to make an item that when eaten will turn into itself, and to do so I plan to have a command edit an item to have the component that makes it turn into that item when eaten if it has a specific custom_data component. However, I do not know how to change an item's components in that way.

You can use item modifiers

the documentation on those is a bit confusing, how would i format it to modify a specific component?

Like this:

{
  "function": "minecraft:set_components",
  "components": {
    "minecraft:food": {
      "nutrition": 0,
      "saturation": 0
    }
  }
}
