    String newHtml = oldHtml.replaceFirst("(?s)(<head>)(.*?)(</head>)","$1$3");

    Explanation:

    oldHtml.replaceFirst(" // we want to match only one occurrance
(?s)                   // we need to turn Pattern.DOTALL mode on
                       // (. matches everything, including line breaks)
(<head>)               // match the start tag and store it in group $1
(.*?)                  // put contents in group $2, .*? will match non-greedy,
                       // i.e. select the shortest possible match
(</head>)              // match the end tag and store it in group $3
","$1$3");             // replace with contents of group $1 and $3
