You could try this in bash script, it does require GNU date for the date calculations:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
ADD_DAYS=300
while read line
do
    [[ "$line" = [#]DATEA\ * ]] && DB=$(date -d "${line#*DATEA } + ${ADD_DAYS}days" +%Y-%m-%d)
    [[ "$line" = [#]TEXT ]] && echo "#DATEB $DB"
    echo "$line"
done < settings.txt > settings_new.txt
