I'd suggest a different approach by using a regexp which will let you alter 
the exiting limit in the future:

- name: sets nofile hard limits
  lineinfile: >
    dest=/etc/security/limits.conf
    line="*               hard    nofile          65536"
    regexp="^\\*\ +hard\ +nofile\ +[0-9]+$"
    state="present"
