Replacing one special character with another in a database table field value using PHP MySql

Question

I have a quite large table and wanted to update all - with _ in one particular field values.

Eg: Field name is keyword

The current value is "supercomputing-asia-conference" and the expected result would be supercomputing_asia_conference

I don't need to retrieve the data, I just wanted to update the value when executing the SQL query. I'm trying to write an SQL query to do this, can someone help?
