You can do this from developer workbench or data loader. Just extract entire data of this object and then update the field value to 5% in CSV and again update it through workbench or data loader whichever tool you are using.

Hi,

You could use data loader to mass update them.
Build report of the leads you want ot update (include the Record ID field for reference) and export it to csv file. 
Modify the field desired.
Use the update function of Open data loader.

I hope this help you.

and on this way?

List<Object> oList= [SELECT Id, Name FROM Objet];
for(Object o :oList){
       o.Name = 'something';
}
update oList;

If you want this process to be automatic, you will have to go for the schedule apex which will run once in a year on 1st June.

Create a Scheduled Class like this:

global class ScheduledUpdatePercent implements Schedulable {
      global void execute(SchedulableContext ctx) {
           List<CustomObject> objectList = [Select id, Percent_Field__c from CustomObject];
           for(CustomObject co : objectList){
                       co.Percent_Field__c = 5;
            }
        update objectList;
    }        
}

and Open Execute Anonymous Windows schedule the job (Developer Console). For example:
           System.schedule('UpdatePercentToday', '0 00 14 2 6 ? 2016', new ScheduledUpdatePercent());

This execute the job once, today at 14:00.

I hope this let you achieve your Goal.
