Almost what I want -- One problem is that "foo" is not always "foo" for
me.  It would change, as I'm changing a bunch of different words to my
single target word.  The other problem is that your method wipes "0.
cwbar<Esc> puts "foo" into "0 but what I really want is to ``replace
current word with what's already in my "0 without overwriting my "0  ''

If I understand you right, here's what I do in that situation.

Say I want to replace all "foo" with "bar" like that...
/\<foo\>
find the first "foo"
cwbar<esc>
n
. "repeat
n
. "repeat
etc etc etc
