Replace existing EC2 tags with a different value

I am fairly new to AWS Python Boto3. I am trying to figure a way to replace existing tags value with a different value. 

import boto3
session = boto3.session.Session(aws_access_key_id=aws_access_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret, region_name='us-east-1')

ec2 = session.resource('ec2')
instances = ec2.instances.filter(
    Filters=[{'Name':'tag:1', 
             'Values':['2']}
])

The code above will find all instances with the mentioned tag but I am not sure how to replace the tags with a different value.

Any help is appreciated.

Use create_tags. Despite the 'create' name, it also updates tags.

Example:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ec2')

response = client.create_tags(
    Resources=[
        'i-0397e32da88889999',
    ],
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'Env',
            'Value': 'QA'
        },
    ]
)
