What do you mean by "swap"?

If I were entering a new MAC address by manual edit, I'd just place the cursor on the address, press R, and type it in.

If I already have the new MAC address in some other application, I'd copy it, place the cursor on the beginning, press ct; (change text until just before the ';' character) and then CTRL+R followed by + to paste it in.

As you can see the action I'd take depends on the situation.

So please explain your situation more fully.
