Use xpath():

$xml = simplexml_load_string($x); // assume XML in $x
$changes = $xml->xpath("//*[starts-with(local-name(), 'change')]");

This will select all nodes starting with change. The // will select them from whatever position in the tree. The results are stored as SimpleXML elements in an array in $changes.

Now change the selected nodes:

foreach ($changes as $change) 
    $change[0] = "New Text";

Take a look at the changed XML:

echo $xml->asXML();
