I usually use a RegEx capable Text Editor to do this type of substitution, but only when it's localized to one contiguous span of text. It may be harder to do this "globally" for every <pre> ... </pre> simultaneously. Your best bet would be to set up a macro but this type of stuff is very hard to "pull off" without a lot of trial and error. And to boot, it's probably ever going to be used ONCE since your next book may be formatted differently and "break" your macro!

This book I have has a lot of computer text and pre tags.

Are you sure it's the <pre> tags not being properly recognized by your ebook reader/iPhone? Perhaps, it could be the way it's formatted. Can you post a snippet of one or better yet PM me a copy so that I can further test it. I usually create ebooks from .html and can easily explode .chm to .html using the following code noted in our
CHM wiki:
Code:
C:\> hh -decompile Destdir Source.chm
However, then to properly structure an ebook from that can take a lot of effort since you usually have to manually reconstruct the index and ordering/links of the .html pages.

Is there any way in conversion of the book from chm to epub to automatically have the <br /> tags at the end of each line inside the <pre> tags? Otherwise, going through each line is pretty laborious. thanks.

I've only manually converted .chm to .html and then to .epub / .prc, but only after I've "cleansed" the extracted .html files. I'm not sure how calibre does this conversion, but I would look at two-stage solution as I do manually.
In the end, this type of conversion DOES take a lot of elbow grease...
