1. click on "select by color tool" and click on one of the two original colours
(you end up will all squares of that colour selected, usually it's recommended to do "select grow" by 1 pixel)
2. having set your replacing first colour as BG for instance, "fill" the selection with BG
3. repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second colour
But maybe also you like to have just one single step...

I just used checkerboard for an example basically I want to use eraser and wipe over area with eraser, certain colors will be erased or change to another color.Thanks anyway.

Try: 
Add transparency (alpha channel) Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel
Set a paintbrush to suitable size and put the mode to Color-erase set the FG to the color and paint over the area for replace.



Next, set the paint brush mode to Behind and the FG to the new colour, and paint over the erased area.



edit:  Of course, if you are making an image from scratch in Gimp you should use as many layers as is necessary and then changing parts of the design is easy.

I will try your idea but PB 3.1 was the best to use. I can't use it even with dosbox. Thanks for your suggestion.
