You cannot do this with a single query with LDAP. You need to read each user and modify the CN attribute. If CN is used for naming entries, you should use ModDN for each modify, otherwise simple Modify operation is enough. Alternately you could export the data to LDIF, do the transformation in the LDIF text file and reimport it.
