Thanks Jon Szymaniak,
I was also thinking about a similar solution, the reason wic has this 
limitation is probably because it uses parted under the hood and parted 
doesn't allow you to set the partition id to an arbitrary value. A safer 
way to do this might be with the help of fdisk as it allows you to 
change partition's system id using the 't' sub command in interactive 
mode. But I am looking for a way to do this using existing options in wic.

Fahad Usman.
