H Lluís, 

I did something similar with "Rules" I had a field with a misspelled machine name and I couldn't live with it, so I needed to copy the misspelled field to the newly created but correctly spelled field. I created a rule which did this copy for me on the "Open Page" event, and then I opened all the pages, which in my case was fewer than 100. This is not a practical solution if you have a huge number of pages, but it worked splendidly for my case and it was dead simple. 

Chris.
