You simply look for that specific character and accept anything that surrounds it.

Find:
^.*#.*$

Replace by:
{enter your desired text here}

. = dot, means "any character"
* = asterisk, means: accept any consecutive string of the preceding character(s), requiring none at all
# : enter your specific character here instead
