If you just want to change from image:name.jpg to image_name.jpg you can use something like:

<?php
    $name = "image:name.jpg";

    $name = preg_replace('/\:/','_',$name);

    echo $name;

This will echo image_name.jpg

You can also use str_replace which should be faster then preg_replace, according to this entry. Which would be something like:

<?php
        $name = "image:name.jpg";

        $name = str_replace(':','_',$name);

        echo $name;

And this will also echo image_name.jpg

If you want to replace the whole URL maintaining the : in http://.... you can use \K.

According to Maroun Maroun:

\K tells the engine to pretend that the match attempt started at this position.

With the following code:

<?php
    $name = '<img src="http://domainname.com/image:name.jpg">';

    $name = preg_replace('/[^http:]\K(:)/', '_', $name);

    echo $name;

It will echo <img src="http://domainname.com/image_name.jpg">. You can see a working example here.
