Default Find and Replace - Changing 1st # only

Hello,

I just want to change the 1st # in a column of 9 digit #s. Ex: I want to
find 712015647 and replace it with 612015647. I thought about finding
7??????? and replacing with 6???????? but it replaces my # with "6????????".
I want to keep the last 8 #s and just replace the 1st number from a 7 to a 6.
Can someone help?

Thank you,
Studebaker
