…behind the drywall, in the ceiling? I have to transition from 1 1/2″ PVC to 1 1/2″ galvanized drain pipe.
If not, how do I get the piece of galvanized unstuck from the 4″ cast iron so I can attach the PVC directly? The galvanized is in bad enough shape that it might break.

good advice
So we are looking up at the cieling in this picture? Just to be clear.
That is a cieling joist with 1x4? subflooring on top of it.

sure ya can... somebody put the galv in after the joist was installed...

Yes, you can do that where I live. You have to use what the plumbers call a "mission" coupling (which I think is a brand). The metal band is crinkled so it doesn't buckle when the hose clamps are tightened. http://www.missionrubber.com/Products/NoHubCouplings.php
The generic name for those is Shielded and Fernco also make that style..

That is a screw joint, you should be able to unscrew it with a pipe wrench, put in a male pvc adapter, short piece of pvc and a glued cap, should be easy, luck.
No doubt the galv won't back out, right?
Cut it close to the CI, then score the inside with a sawsall...slowly, and not on the bottom where it's 'wet'
Knock it out with a cold chisel. Insert PVC transition, with dope and tape.
Thanks, everyone. Done got it did. I used the edge of a half-round file to get the remaining pipe loose, much as betterbuiltnyc recommended (couldn't get the RS up there between the joists).

If warming the cast and applying a pipe wrench to the galv. didn't bring it out.
That would be the next step.
I reccomend a fine tooth blade and sawsall with slow variable speed.
And lots of patience.
Good luck
