IIUC, you can use `org-map-entries` to apply the function `org-todo`
(or a different function if you want) to a collection of nodes in a
file that are specified through tags/properties matches:

   (org-map-entries #'org-todo "LEVEL=1" 'file)

will apply it to top-level nodes only.

See

   (info "(org)Using the Mapping API")

and

   (info "(org)Matching tags and properties")
