How I read it, you wish to change some words, I understand above statement.

The last above statement is contradictory to your explanation above.

If there are just few words, then you could use this:

(defun my-get-them ()
  (let* ((point (point)))
    (goto-char 1)
    (replace-regexp "cognize" "knize")
    (replace-regexp "collect" "klect")
    (replace-regexp "corrupt" "krup")
    (replace-regexp "cumulatively" "kulatively")
    (goto-char point)))
