Quilt is very convenient, if your %prep phase is simple enough you can
simply use

        quilt setup package.spec
        cd package-ver
        while quilt push; do quilt refresh; done

and voila, you have refreshed patches with fuzz 0.

Alternatively, you might find rediff of diffutils interesting, in this
case as well as in any other time if you're into editing diff files
manually. ;-)
