Since you are new to Vim, it is best to start learning some of Vim's motion
commands.
:h motion.txt
And read through the entire thing.
Find a couple that you might think, start using them regularly.
Then read it again, find another one and start using them.
To answer your question, in Vim, you can do this:
<h1 id="My h1 item">My h1 item</h1>
^ Cursor is here
vi"
v - start character-wise visual mode.
i" - select the text between the quotes (not including the quotes)
Then you can operate on that visual selection.
:'<,'>s/ /_/g
Another, possibly more useful thing I could do, would be to modify

Did spend some time on UltiSnips, which apparently can also use snipMates
templates.
