First, note that in Mathematica notation you should use 
x==f[A,B,C,D] to define an equaltiy (unless you work with TradidionalForm)
So I will use that notation here.
you can use pattern matching
myRule = {x -> A, y -> B, z -> C, w -> D, A -> x, B -> y, C -> z, D -> w}
x==f[A,B,C,D]/.myRule
will yield
A == f[x, y, z, w]
as desired
