"Replace all patterns with given name x and which turn out to be numbers 
greater than 9 by their "superstared" values."

or:

"Mark all numbers in expression list which are greater than 9 by a 
superstar."

> list /. {i_ /; i>= 10 :>  SuperStar[i]}

"Replace all patterns with name i and which are numbers greater equal 
than 10 by their superstared values."


Alternatively you could also try

Speak[HoldForm[list /. x_ :> SuperStar[x] /; x > 9]]



Best,

   Christoph
