[OT] Somehow "reversed" question

Hi,

this is a question, which is somehow the other wat around:

When replacing character/words in a text with vim, I can
limit the search'n'replace-areaa with a visual selection
and giving a \%V in the search pattern.

I need to build a shell script, which does exactliy
this: Replaceing character in a limited range of columns.

Can I do this with sed somehow?

Thank you very much in advance any help!
Best regards,
Meino
