They have Tasks related to it.

Task have record type TA, TB, TC

I want to replace all the TA related to Accounts with TB

This is the sample of changing Account record type. Opportunity is similar.

 id recordTypeIdTA = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('TA').getRecordTypeId();
 id recordTypeIdTB = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('TB').getRecordTypeId();

list<account> Accs = [select id,RecordTypeid from account where recordtypeid = :recordTypeIdTA ];  //may subject to soql governor limit
foreach(Account a : Accs)
      a.recordtypeid = recordTypeIdTB;
update Accs;
