If you have access to the repository, then you can use cvs export. It will 
turn that Id line into

>   * Id: blah.java,v 1.2.2.3 2004/01/21 10:03:04 jwilson Exp

(the $ characters are removed)

There's also a -k switch (check the manual) you can use with cvs update(?) 
or checkout that would leave it

>   * $Id$


Of course, if this is third party source, then you need a script.
