How to replace break; with {break;}

Hi,

I have two questions about the replace command.

First, how do I replace a line that begins with a
pattern with a line with only \n ? I tried

:1,$ s/^pattern/\n/g

but it didn't work.

A similar question is about replacing

break;

with
{
break;
}

Regards,
S.
