What do you want to achieve with that, what is the purpose for doing so?
Simply repeating what you already said is no further information...

If you "hav no idea abt unix" then anything you might pick up in here might wreak havoc in your system (admittedly not necessarily in above simple case). I'd advise to learn some basics before applying e.g. mass modification scripts. You may want to create a "sandbox" in which you can test whatever you scripted/programmed/copied.
For your request in post#1, sed or awk or perl are the candidates to go for, although you can do it in shell script as well.
