This page answers your question exactly:
• Elisp Lesson: Repeated Find Replace
http://xahlee.org/emacs/elisp_repeat_replace.html
if you prefer emacs to ask you for each case, perhaps just to be sure
your regex didn't find a bad match, see:
• Lisp Lesson: Regex Replace with a Function
http://xahlee.org/emacs/lisp_regex_replace_func.html

(defun wrap-markup ()
"Insert a markup <b></b> around a region."
(interactive)
(goto-char (region-end)) (insert "</b>")
(goto-char (region-beginning)) (insert "<b>")
)
the above is from a collection of simple elisp examples at
• Emacs Lisp Examples
