check for a particular character inside a file and substitute with a given character?

i am a newbie to shell script,so i want a kshell script in which i need to check for a particular character inside a file through conditional looping(like if ,case,while)and if that character exists ,then substitute a given character to that character.

consider a file test.txt,inside the file the content will be like c:\home\temp,
my requirement is to check the existence of a character(\) inside a file,and then substitute the character(/) for an existing character(\),i.e.result must be like c:/home/temp.
