There are four possible modifications you can make to an attribute :-
{
replace,
add values,
remove values,
set to default
}

Of these add/remove values are only applicable to set valued attributes.
'add values' means add the supplied members to the set. 'remove values' means
remove the supplied members from the set. 

'replace' is applicable to both set and single valued attributes and can basically be considered equivalent to assignment.

replace means : 'replace the current value of the attribute (i.e. if it is a set,
every member) with the value that is supplied'

For each operation (apart from set to default) a value for the attribute must be
supplied. The difference is, what is done with that value is determined by the
value of the modify operator.

Your question is a little bit confusing. I think what you want to do is to
replace a member of a set with a different value (?). This involves two modify
operations - the first to 'remove' the old member and the second to 'add' the new
member.
