First, I think you want ([^']*?) instead of (.*)?. You want to non-greedily match everything but single quotes, right?
Also, keep in mind that this will do two things you're probably not anticipating. First, it will only replace one set of double-equals per set of single quotes. Secondly, it's not really reading nested quotes, so 'this is in quotes' this == is not 'this is again' will come back with the not-in-quotes double-equals replaced.
