At least sorting should be possible with Ebib:

http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/ebib-manual.html#sorting-the-.bib-file

Searching for a string in a particular field is also possible:

http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/ebib-manual.html#filters

But replacing that string is a different matter. Perhaps in the next version...
