I don't know if there is such a function but, for the problem you
describe, I would try something like this:

sed -i 's/#+\(BEGIN\|END\)_LaTeX/#+\1_EXPORT/' myfile.org

If there are lots of files maybe (UNTESTED):

grep -rl "BEGIN_LaTeX\|END_LaTeX" | \
     xargs -IXX \
           sed -i's/#+\(BEGIN\|END\)_LaTeX/#+\1_EXPORT/' XX
