It is not possible to give you correct exact commands to use because we are not sat in front of your terminal. All we can offer is that you should be able to:
1) identify the image IDs from the "Catalog" function of the GUI, or identify the image IDs from the CLI using the bpimagelist command and/or the bpimmedia command, and then reading and understanding and reviewing the output from those commands to then decide upon and select which copy numbers of the required image IDs, and then to use those image IDs and copy numbers in step 2...
2) then use bpexpdate on either whole tapes, or on a per image basis.

The NetBackup v8.0 Commands Reference guide is here:

.
You appear to be new to NetBackup... my advice:
tip 1: do not attempt to change the expiry date without reading the associated commands and researching on the internet and in this forum - if you dive in without understanding what it is you are doing then you risk losing your backups.
tip 2: test and practice on a backup image that you can afford to loose.

In such cases, I write bpexpdate command for each image with force option in one file and give that file a execute permission.
file should be as follows;
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -backupid image1 -d "date n time" -force
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -backupid image2 -d "date n time" -force
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -backupid image3 -d "date n time" -force
Then I execute this file with ./
