Well, one could write something like
C-M-% \[0x\([0-9a-f]+\)\] RET \,(format "[%08x]" (+ (* 4 (string-to-number
\1 16)) #X8745b400)) RET
It is not all too pretty, but not all too bad either. If the pattern of
the numbers is regular, you might use \# in the replacement rather than
an explicit conversion.
