I have many snmp devices that has their community string set to "public". Is there a way to change the community string of an snmp device?

I suppose it's just a conceptual question (As you don't provide us any information regarding the type of devices you are trying to configure)
So the answer is:
Sure!, there is a way to change SNMP community in almost any device. Such way depends on the device you are configuring (Network devices, workstations, servers ...)
For example, if you are configuring a linux machine:
Edit snmpd config file (normally located in /etc/snmpd) and change rocommunity and rwcommunity parameters.
Restart the snmp daemon.
