Well, take replace-string for example. If you want to call it from
Elisp, it looks like this:

(replace-string FROM-STRING TO-STRING &optional DELIMITED START
END)

In the below function, you see how it is combined with
call-interactively. The result is the same as if the user would
have hit `M-x replace-string'. But, you don't have to write a
whole new interface (that does the same thing).

(defun replace-str ()
  "Like `replace-string', but reset point when done."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (call-interactively 'replace-string) ))

But, as for your purposes, now that you have described them in
more detail, I don't think it is the solution.
