    Use the $set operator to do that:

    db.foo.update({bar: 100}, {$set: {bar: 1000}}, false, true)

    The fourth parameter sets the multi option to true so that you update all matching documents, not just the first one.

    3.2 UPDATE

    Recent MongoDB versions provide an updateMany method that is a bit more intuitive:

    db.foo.updateMany({bar: 100}, {$set: {bar: 1000}})
