You can use relative coordinates by using ~ as x y and z
Early in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ morning here sorry if grammar is bad
And follow the instructions

/fill x y z ~ ~ ~ <new block> <tile data> replace <block that you want to change>
<tile data>
make the x y z the lowest point you want to be replaced. then fly up to the highest point and use ~ ~ ~ for the coords ur in. you can expand the area.
so for example
/fill 32 90 14 ~ ~ ~ netherrack 0 replace air 0
would replace all the air in that space with netherrack

~ ~ ~ automatically makes it the coords your standing in/on

Since I assume you're in a flat world, bedrock is all at the first row of blocks. Type this:
/fill ~-50 1 ~-50 ~50 1 ~50 air
With air you don't need to worry about the old block-tile data and all that stuff. IDK of that applies for changing it to water though. The 50 parts can be changed to another number - they're just an example - but if it's too big it won't work.
Assuming water doesn't need the old block and tile data and stuff either, you can type:
/fill ~-50 2 ~-50 ~50 ~4 ~50 water
The ~ means it's relative to your position, so the 50s would mean fifty blocks away from you in each direction. (Also the 4 might have to be a 5, I forget how many levels of dirt there are in a flat world .-.)

its just the block data
some blocks like terracota, have a certain number pertaining to a certain color
like 1 is white and 7 is orange so like terracota 7 would put orange terracota

Does it actually need the tile data though? I've only ever replaced the ground with air but I just skip the old block and tile data, just type my coordinates and the word 'air'

Huh :/ I started using it right about the time I joined forums I think (April/May) and I've never used tile data. Again though, I've only ever replaced blocks with air, so maybe it only works with air :/

u may have to halve the area and use the command twice. for an old world sized area, i had to use it 4 times

So fifty is too many... try 30 or 35 each direction, then move to the corners of the square and do it again to expand?
I used to do it at 200 but last weekend I used it for the first time after the 1.2 update, and I've forgotten how small I had to make it :/

Siriusly?! I'm pretty sure I did at least 20 each direction and it was fine... :/ ugh Minecraft why are you being stupid?
What game is it for, by the way? (Depending on what it is TNT could be a slower alternative)
