It is my understanding that this is not possible in WFP5. You have to export a TM to TMX, then edit it in a TMX editor (not supplied by the Wordfast company) and then import it again into the TM. In case you don't know, to edit a TM in WFP5 you have to create a dummy project and then add that TM to the project, and then select the option "open" (not "edit") the TM. You can filter segments based on a search term, but you have to click the segments individually and edit them individually -- you can't tell WFP5 to e.g. replace all instances of "color" with "colour" in the TM.
