Question about 'sed'

Hi all:
I understand that the following action:
sed '1s/a/b/' f
will search the first line of f and find the first ocurrence of a then replaced by b. But, instead of specify a character or string, is there any way I can specify the column(s) we want to replace then replace it by using 'sed'? Thanks for help.
