Here is something I put together that works on the simple gdb's I have on hand. I don't know how it might or might not handle sub-types with multiple domains (see Brent's comment).
Usage:
python export_gdb_domains.py [input geodatabase]
It exports the tables to the same gdb it's getting the domains from. It will fail if the table(s) exist already.

Alternatively, if this is an SDE geodatabase at version 10 or greater (in earlier versions, ...

Does IT have that locked down?
a. If you have the data in ...

It will depend somewhat on the type of field and domain you are using.
Assuming you are using the defaults, integer, and coded value.
you want the syntax in the field calculator to be (selectedrowsinmydomainfield) = newcodedvalue
in the example...
nom_size is the domain with 1 = 1"
If I want to change all selected values to 1".
I use the syntax in the ...

Coded value domains set mulit-level dependancy on coded value domains for a feature class
