                        STUFF(@replacedString, 1, Len('Good'), 'Better')
                      ELSE @replacedString END

SELECT CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(REVERSE(' Good'), REVERSE(@replacedString)) = 1 THEN 
                             Reverse(STUFF(Reverse(@replacedString), CHARINDEX(Reverse(' Good'), 
                             Reverse(@replacedString)), Len(' Good'), Reverse(' Better')))
