What do you mean with "in an associative array"? The values? The keys?

If you want to replace the characters in values:

<?php
$array = [
  'value 1' => '[[something 1',
  'value 2' => 'something 2]]',
];

// Output array as it was before
print_r($array);

foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
  $array[$key] = str_replace(
    [ '[[', ']]' ],
    [ '[', ']' ],
    $value
  );
}

// Output as it was afterwards
print_r($array);
