Fixing PDF OCR Errors

What's the easiest was to fix PDF OCR Errors? For example, I have a signed one page legal memo that was scanned in after signed. I ran OCR and Acrobat says there are no OCR suspects. But a couple of places the letter O was recognized as the number 0.

I tried going into the tag tree and changing the actual and alt text for that content, which seemed to work when I read it with JAWS. It there a different way I should be doing this?
