Use a text editor.
Unless, that is, you need to automate the process. In which case, the
correct approach depends upon exactly why and how you need to do this.
Whatever the reason, ad-hoc sed scripts to modify config files
probably isn't the right approach.
One option is to create a patch (with "diff") which you can apply with
"patch". Use -C or -U with a suitable argument so that the patch will
apply reliably to any httpd.conf file.
