You should consult some introductory tutorial dealing with Rs way of 
treating vectors and especially indexing ("An untroduction to R" would 
be a good start). What kind of R object is data$Group ? 
(class(data$Group) ) ...If it is a character vector I would use logical 
indexing:

data$Group[data$Group=='A']=='C'

What do you mean by IDs? Rownames?

Generally charcter replacement works with:

?sub
