Sort of.

Easy option: Export everything you want to edit in a single zip. Multi file replace/add what you want to change in all jrxmls from that archive. Any advanced file editor should be able to do that. Overwrite the contents of the archive and import. (Make sure you back up server contents before this). You can use the command line version of import/export if you have multiple complex paths and only want certain reports to be exported.

Complex option: Jasper server stores everything in the repository in a postgre database(by default). It's not really documented as far as i know but its relational and pretty easy to understand. Figure out your query for uniquely identifying the reports you want to change and update the value with your new jrxml contents. This is basically what import export does behind the scenes. Again....backup first.

If you are looking to edit within  the server interface. There's no such thing
