Do you really want to edit in-place? If anything goes wrong you've destroyed your original, not a copy!
You can't just redirect into the same file you're reading from either, because you'd end up deleting the file before you even begin reading from it. Hence why this, and most shell utilities, don't edit in-place. Modifying the original is easy enough without that:
'cat' is better than 'mv' for this because it won't ever alter data.dat's ownership or permissions.
