Did you the right EAN and just the locality (country) is wrong or did you add them simply by title no matter what?

If it is just the locality, there is a PlugIn called BulkEdit that might help.
How to: Make a backup of your current database, goto File -> Open Database and create a new one, e.g. 'Localityupdate', and restore your backup there. Now flag, lets say 10 profiles, Tools -> BulkEdit and choose "title" and "locality" and Load - Flagged Profiles, change all the Localities to "Denmark" and File -> Save validated changes and exit. Now all the covers are gone, because of the new locality so Collection -> Flagged -> Refresh and Profiler will tell you which profiles exist an can be refreshed and which don't exist.
If done to all titles/profiles simply backup those who were updated, open your default database and restore them there ( Restore Specific Profiles ) and copy any personal data from the according old profiles to the new ones by DVD -> Copy/Paste and selecting the right information.

But if the EAN is wrong, you'll have to rework it, the EAN is the prime-key for a profile.
