If the changes are relatively simple and limited in scope, using the Groovy Console or a standalone Groovy script can be effective.

For more complex or extensive modifications, writing a Sling Servlet or utilizing Apache Sling Pipes would provide better control and flexibility.

I've lately used sling pipes for similar purposes, and you can learn more about them by reading wonderful articles :
