Using SQL to replace a quote in a character string

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
I need to replace double quotes (") and commas (,) in strings with a space
I know I can use replace
Select REPLACE(a.bfname, ',', ' ') as New_Bfname from file a
Select REPLACE(a.bfname, '"', ' ') as New_Bfname from file a

My predicament is to replace quotes (') in strings with a space
Any idea how that can be achieved?
AND
Is there a way to incorporate ALL the changes in one go
