As you acknowledge, the tuple ‘a’ can't become anything else. Instead,
you need to create a different value.

Right, because a tuple is immutable.
So instead, you want a different tuple. You do that by creating it,
explicitly constructing a new sequence with the items you want::
b = tuple([
item for item in a
] + [(5, 6)])
