  Usually you'd do a search&replace on multiple files to do that. I don't
know offhand if emacs has readymade support for search&replace on multiple
files, but it sounds like something that could be done with just a bit of
elisp. (Normally you would do this on the command line using 'sed' or other
similar tools, unless the changes are very complex, in which case it becomes
more difficult.)
