Quick example:

            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                var ml = (MLeader)tr.GetObject(entId, OpenMode.ForWrite);
                if (ml.ContentType == ContentType.MTextContent)
                {
                    var mtext = ml.MText;
                    var txt = mtext.Contents;
                    mtext.Contents = txt.Replace("x", "XX");
                    ml.MText = mtext;
                    tr.Commit();
                }
            }

Thank you So much Jeff

You have always helped me.

another quick question,  Can we change Mtext rotation of a mleader by your code as well?

You could have found it yourself (if you'd tried).

var ml = (MLeader)tr.GetObject(entId, OpenMode.ForWrite);
if (ml.ContentType == ContentType.MTextContent)
{
    var mtext = ml.MText;
    var txt = mtext.Contents;
    mtext.Contents = txt.Replace("x", "XX");
    mtext.Rotation += Math.PI / 2.0;
    ml.MText = mtext;
}
tr.Commit()
