If it's always the second character that needs replacing, you could try
something like this:
UPDATE TheTable
set TheNewField =
substr(TheOldField, 1, 1) ||
(case substr(TheOldField, 2, 1) when 'P' then '+' else '-' end) ||
substr(TheOldField, 3);
Hopefully, substr() function exists in the version you use.
