Assuming that a text frame is selected:

var myTextFrame = app.selection[0]; 
var myStory = myTextFrame.parentStory; 
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; 
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?i)[A-Z]*?@[A-Z]*?[.]..."; 
app.changeGrepPreferences.underline = true; 
myStory.changeGrep(); 
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

You can search and replace in a story:
myStory.changeGrep();
and in a text frame:
myTextFrame.changeGrep();
