The simplest way is use of string replace function:

s = 'I have 10 apples and 0 pencil'
print (s.replace(' 0 ',' zero '))

The complicated way would be using re (you can use other ways to reach your desired string to be replaced):

import re
s = 'I have 10 apples and 0 pencil'
y = re.sub(r'( 0 )', ' zero ', s, count=1, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
print(y)

You can use regular expression for this:

import re

txt = "I have 10 apples and 0 pencil"
x = re.sub(r"\b0\b", "zero", txt)
print(x)

this code gives you the output: I have 10 apples and zero pencil

Try with:

s.replace(" 0 ", " zero ")
