Do you mean replacing some bytes pattern with the same amount of bytes, without shifting the rest of the file?

yes. and which "read block size" use? 1byte is slow (file~3Mb), and in order to use bigger "read block size" i need an algorythm Smile)

In which operating system? In Windows you could use the file mapping and thus "read block" wouldn't be necessary at all.

Map whole file. If it's PE .exe/.dll then get to section's data (to prevent searching in headers unless you wish to). Than if it's always dword value you seek, the best solution imho would be using scasd instruction like this:
Code:
        mov     ecx, size / 4
        mov     eax, pattern_you_seek
        mov     edi, start_of_block_to_search_within ; Smile
        repnz   scasd
        jnz     .not_found
