/root # cat /etc/lvm/lvm.conf | grep locking_dir | grep -v '#'

Have you researched the "lineinfile" module?

As an Ad-Hoc command:
ansible '<hosts>' -m lineinfile -a "dest=/etc/lvm/lvm.conf backrefs=yes regexp='^(locking_dir)' line='1 = "/run/lock"' state=present"
As part of a playbook:
- lineinfile:
dest: /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
backrefs: yes
regexp: '^(locking_dir)'
line: '1 = "/run/lock"'
state: present
I believe lvm.conf will have only one line beginning with locking_dir so I didn't bother to use a regex to match the complete line. Otherwise the regex would be something like '^locking_dir = "/var/lock/lvm"'
