Help with removing characters like ^M

I have few files in unix which are in dos format. While I am copying these files, ^M, ^@, etc characters are being generated.

I tried dos2unix command in Linux and it doesn't work.
I tried sed to remove these characters but they won't go.
I came to about this 'tr' command and tried to use it but when I try to use it, still it removes M elsewhere in the file but not ^M.

Please advise in how to get rid of these caret characters.

Thanks
Chiru
