    Hi Audrey,

    There's a free app called The Permissioner which makes stuff like that easier.

    This is the link of the app on appexchange.

    You can use the Enhanced Profile List Views to update object permissions directly in the profile list view.

    Setup --> User Interface --> Mark "Enable Enhanced Profile List View" TRUE
    Setup --> Profiles --> Create a custom list view for your custom profiles and add the object permissions to your columns.
    Check off all the ones you want to edit
    Use the inline editing to mark permissions true and false
    Select "All XX selected records" under "Apply changes to"
    Hope this helps!

    Thanks.

    And also The Metadata API provides programmatic access from any web-service capable language including Apex itself. So if this is a modification that you want to repeat in the future it could be worth writing some code.

    But a more common approach would be to read/modify/write the profiles using one of the IDEs or the Ant tools where you would use a few search and replace operations across all the files for the "modify" part.

    Thanks.
