Actually, the ceiling appears to be concrete with a skim coat of drywall compound on it. I'm not 100% this is the case at this exact location, but I discovered that it was the case when I tried to move a light in an adjoining room. So I would venture to say that the sheetrock isn't there and there is no access to the area above.

They make an 'acoustical ceiling repair' product that is sold at the big orange store. There are several varieties depending on the texture of your ceiling. They are in a pressurized can and only cover about a 2' x 2' area. So it might be just right for your application. Be sure to mask the wall and floor with plastic sheeting, the stuff is messy. And, as always, 'For best results, follow label directions'

Yeah, my dad calls it 'popcorn' too. An arty friend has also told me that 'stipple' just means 'random raised dots' and is a painting term. Ever since I had to paint one of them and the nasty oil paint came in an offcially labeled "Stipple-Acoustic Ceiling" can, I've called it so.
And it turns out my local home depot has no such product, but I'll check Rona on the weekend.
