Whether or not you can do this depends on the size of your image, how big the header info is, and if you're using compression or not. I'd recommend you NOT use compression, like used by JPG and PNG formats because those formats will give you variable sizes. You're better off using BMP or TIFF formats, but even then you'll have to figure out how big the header is. So use imresize() to shrink your image until it's just below 300,000 bytes, then you'll have to add some padding to some of the header tags to get it up to exactly 300,000 bytes.
