Extended replace is the the right tool. One of the "appropriate
fields" mentioned would be to make sure the check mark shows next to
regular expressions, then you can use a . to match the numbers you
want to replace. None of the characters in the string you show is
considered to be a "special character" where regular expressions are
concerned, so then in extended replace it would be -

Find what:
<meta name="date.http" content="2005/../..">

Replace with:
<meta name="date.http" content="2006/01/17">
