Each number is in its own cell?

Put 200 in an empty cell
Select that cell
edit|copy
select your range to adjust
edit|Paste special|Add
clean up that cell with 200 in it.

or
=a1+200

If you need a formula, simply do:

=replace(a1,2,1,"4")

Replaces 1 character, starting from the 2nd character, with "4". This
won't overwrite your old numbers, so the other suggestion appears to be
better. A1 would be the cell you want replaced. Keep in mind that this
will return a value in whatever cell you write the formula in - again,
the other method shoold work better
