Yes, you can use the Select method to check each member of the list and replace it. The following gives the result you expect.

Dim List1 As New List(Of String) From {"abc", "abc", "dfg", "abc"}    
List1 = List1.Select(Function(s) If(s = "abc", "cde", s)).ToList

If List1 is actually an array rather than a List, the method is similar.

Dim List1() As String = {"abc", "abc", "dfg", "abc"}
List1 = List1.Select(Function(s) If(s = "abc", "cde", s)).ToArray
