How would this compare to the performance of simply (progammatically) doing an UPDATE and changing the values in a callback hook. If this is impossbile than even a SELECT with a callback where one does an UPDATE for each returned row would be possible.
If this was a task that needed to be done many times I would create a program to do it. If it is a one time fix the manual solution suggested would be quicker. Sed/ed/awk/vi/elm work very well if you know how to use them. You might also try to write a user defined function that edits your text as desired. Then you can simply use one update statement: UPDATE myTable SET MyField = MyFunction( MyField );
