For example I would like to change all the spaces at the beginnen of a
line to an underscore.
The following three lines:
- first line
- second line
- more indentation
would become:
__- first line
__- second line
____- more indentation
Can this be done?

Here's one example. C-M-% and replace
^ +
with
\,(make-string (length \&) ?_)
