If what you have is a raster image, there is no easy way to automate changing the font. A raster image is just that – an image. No font data or text is stored in a raster image. Only pixels.

If you want to change the text to make it readable by OCR then it isn't doable. The only way to automate this would involve some form of OCR, so if the OCR isn't accurate with the current font there isn't really much you can do other than manually re-type the text. Which probably defeats the whole point of the OCR.
