M-x replace-regexp RET ^\(.*\)x\(.*foo.*\)$ RET \1y\2 RET ?
I think it's necessary to distinguish the two cases where the MUST
HAVE is left or right of the MUST NOT BE. Instead of replace-regexp
you can also use query-replace-regexp.
It might be possible to unite these into one expression using
alternatives.
