IMHO, they are not the same thing. 'can't read and write' shows lack of education. 'unable to read or write' may have to do with medical situations (blind, brain damaged, idiotic). Both sentences are the required answers to census questions in various locations. It is, of course, your choice to do what you feel is correct. I have found that replacing can be too specific. In this task, I would use the search for the phrase read and write, and tag all 'owners'. then change them one at a time. Sometimes I had searched with the wrong amount of space-s.
