I think you may find dired's Q command helpful (also look at the
different marking commands).

,----[ To be found by "C-h i RET m emacs RET m dired -> "Operating on Files"" ]
| `Q REGEXP <RET> TO <RET>'
|      Perform `query-replace-regexp' on each of the specified files,
|      replacing matches for REGEXP with the string TO
|      (`dired-do-query-replace-regexp').
