[CentOS] sed a particular line in file

I need to change a value in a file, but this line occurs more than once in
this file therefore as i know the line number this value appears on how can
i change that?

I thought i could use sed to change a particular line number but i dont see
that in the man page, i am trying to change a value from line number 6

thanks
