By using the s-subcommand. I suggest reading the man page of sed and - if you are stuck - ask specific questions once they arise.

There are several good introductions to pattern matching here (for instance: here is one) and i suggeest you use the search function of the forum and see where it takes you.

If you need help with sed in general there are several good books (notably Dale Dougherty's phantastic "sed & awk") as well as countless threads about the specifics here.

I hope this helps.
