Answer 1

You can do a regexp_replace() after casting to text:

postgres=# create table j (field jsonb);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into j values ('[{
postgres'#         "instruction": "Don''t need to book car for M''lore location",
postgres'#         "reservationNo": "TT00098272"
postgres'#     },
postgres'#     {
postgres'#         "instruction": "Please book a car for mumbai location",
postgres'#         "reservationNo": "TT00098273"
postgres'#     }
postgres'#  ]'::jsonb);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select regexp_replace(field::text,'''','','g')::jsonb from j;
                                                                                    regexp_replace
