If you are fixing the text in photoshop, you usually get a knockout (white behind the type), not an overprint. In photoshop, the only way the text can be black is if it knocks out, otherwise the color would be that of 100% on the black channel and then what ever percentages of color on the other channels that the background is.

That being said, to create an overprint, select the CMY channels only use the eyedropper to select the color, then select the type area and then do an Edit==>Fill, using 100% foreground color. This will work if it is a solid background. If the background is an image or some sort of a gradient, you are pretty much left with the clone tool as your only option (on the CMY channels only).
