MySQL Need to Mask Data

I have an requirement. There is a file which has the below contents

Unix|123|17-01-2010
....
....
....
....
and so an

now each letter has a corresponding predefined mapping letter in order to mask the original data.(for example U = A,
n=b, i=c, x=d, same like number 1=9,2=8,3=7. Also for date field it will have default date as 01-01-1999).

Like wise i will have so many rows in the file. How to mask the data

The idea is to mask the original contents. Every upper case A to Z and a to z will have corresponding letter to map,
same like 0 to 9 will have corresponding number

After masking the data the original file content will replace with the masked data.

Any idea how to go about this requirement

Thanks
Babu
