If it is clear that the "oe" is used because the writer didn't have the letters available you can change it back to "ö" without problems.
Otherwise there may be some traps. There are a few examples where you can't replace the "oe" with an "ö" like for example in Koexistenz (you also have something like coexistence, yes?) where the o and e are two different letters.
Is it this what you were asking?

And sometimes even our holy Goethe was made into a Göthe like in a recently uploaded book here:
