You can use the transformations also used for primitives: scale, rotate, 
translate (see relevant paragraphs in the Docs) either within the 
isosurface block, or in an object derived from the isosurface:

isosurface {
   ...
   ...
   scale YourScale
   rotate YourRotation
   translate YourTranslation
}

or:

#declare MyIsosurface =
isosurface {
   ...
   ...
}

object {
   MyIsosurface
   scale YourScale
   rotate YourRotation
   translate YourTranslation
}
