# Changes the 'is_electric' column based on value in the 'type' column
# If the 'type' column == 'electric' then the 'is_electric' becomes 'YES'
df['is_electric']= df['type'].apply(lambda x: 'YES' if (x == 'electric') else 'NO')

df["column"].replace("US","UK") # you can also use numerical values
### replace more than one value ###
df["column"].replace(["man","woman","child"],[1,2,3]) # you can also use numerical values
#   man ==> 1
# woman ==> 2
# child ==> 3
