For a single field, you can use something like this to achieve your 
objective (this will delete all " characters in the field):

update cadastro.cliente set clie_nmcliente = regexp_replace(clie_nmcliente, '"', '', 'g') where clie_nmcliente like
'%"%'; -- delete all ": not tested!
 

You could replace the '' with some other string to replace all " with 
that string.

It may be quicker to edit an ASCII dump of the database and reload it if 
you want to do the same replacement in multiple fields in multiple 
tables.
