Can you tell me what is the difference between subtitute for and replace by?

Hmm, from my observation ' substitute ' is used on persons whereas ' replace ' is on things. Actually there are no rules governing this I believe, it is just that people tend to use it that way.
with = involve the person and his action
by = just only as a means to achieve one's objective or motive.
eg. I settle the bill with/by cash. ( with shows your action to pay
