What I think you mean is to change the XXXXX but not the last 3 characters of each address. This will give you an idea of how you can achieve this; there may be many ways of achieving it, but this is just one way albeit perhaps not the most efficient:
Code:

local address = 'XXXXXDEC'

local function extractSections(s)
        if s == nil or s == '' then error('Invalid argument passed.') end
        local first_part = s:sub(1,#s-3)
        local second_part = s:sub(6,#s)
        return first_part, second_part
      end

local function replaceSection(str, from, to)
        if from == nil or to == nil then error('Nothing to replace.') end
        return string.gsub(str, from, to)
      end

local from,section = extractSections(address)
print(string.format('First: %s\nSecond: %s', from, section))

local new = replaceSection(address, from, 'YYYYY')
print('After replacement: ' .. new)

Hi, here is an other solution, copy the code and paste in cheat engine.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheatTable>
  <CheatEntries>
    <CheatEntry>
      <ID>0</ID>
      <Description>"XXXXX000"</Description>
      <ShowAsSigned>0</ShowAsSigned>
      <VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
      <Address>XXXXX000</Address>
      <CheatEntries>
        <CheatEntry>
          <ID>1</ID>
          <Description>"DEC"</Description>
          <ShowAsSigned>0</ShowAsSigned>
          <VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
          <Address>+DEC</Address>
        </CheatEntry>
        <CheatEntry>
          <ID>2</ID>
          <Description>"BAC"</Description>
          <ShowAsSigned>0</ShowAsSigned>
          <VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
          <Address>+BAC</Address>
        </CheatEntry>
        <CheatEntry>
          <ID>3</ID>
          <Description>"2AC"</Description>
          <ShowAsSigned>0</ShowAsSigned>
          <VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
          <Address>+2AC</Address>
        </CheatEntry>
        <CheatEntry>
          <ID>4</ID>
          <Description>"1EC"</Description>
          <ShowAsSigned>0</ShowAsSigned>
          <VariableType>4 Bytes</VariableType>
          <Address>+1EC</Address>
        </CheatEntry>
      </CheatEntries>
    </CheatEntry>

Hi! Thanks for all help to my question, actually i don't really expert with this (cheat engine) how to apply the code and don't understand Lua language. From your answer i get some idea, so i made this :
1. Have VSCode
2. Use Python language
3. Copy paste code from cheat engine
Code:

# Input your code from Cheat Engine

xml_content = """
      Your code
"""

import re

def replace_address(match):
    original_address = match.group(0)
    new_address = "<Address>YYYYY" + original_address[14:] #CHANGE ADDRESS 5 DIGIT
    return new_address

pattern = r'<Address>[0-9A-F]+</Address>'
modified_xml_content = re.sub(pattern, replace_address, xml_content)

print(modified_xml_content)

- Done and Run it -
I hope this can be usefull for newbie like me Very Happy , once again thank you for who answered me! you're a kind person. Embarassed

There are two ways to access the Lua engine. Memory Viewer > Tools (menu) > Lua Engine, or from the main window press:
Quote:

Ctrl, Alt, Shift + L


From there you can execute Lua code. You can also use an Auto Assembler script and paste the Lua code between a directive:
Code:

[ENABLE]
{$LUA}
if syntaxcheck then return end -- To prevent immediate execution when adding to the table
-- Lua code here
{$ASM}
[DISABLE]
