If the text you want to change is still in a text layer, then the answer 
is, "You don't need a plug-in; highlight the text you want to change, 
and make the changes using the text edit." If the font is no longer a 
text layer, the answer is likely, "not easily".

In your workflow, if you thing you're going to want to change a bit of 
text, don't merge it into anything but another text layer.
