Take a pizza menu, for example. I have a friend who is vegan so he doesn't eat cheese. Normally a pizza has a base of tomato and is topped with cheese, with various things in between. My vegan friend would say something like "Please substitute cheese with mushrooms" - he wants the pizza maker to swap the two over. He wants his pizza to have mushrooms on top instead of the standard cheese.
I think it's likely that most native speakers would say "I'd like X instead of Y, please" or "Could I have X instead of Y, please?". I don't think many would use the word "substitute".
