Honestly, I can not explain it better than many existing awk tutorials. See awk.info Learn
===
You have a different FS (field separator), so just change it:
Code:
awk -F', ' -v bound=300 'BEGIN { OFS = "," } 
{
  for(i=1; i<=NF; i++)
    if ($i > bound) $i = bound
  print
}' INPUTFILE

NAME
replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings. USAGE

replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v] DESCRIPTION

Special characters in from string: ^ Match start of line. $ Match end of line.  Match space-character, start of line or end of line. For a end  the next replace starts locking at the end space-character. A  alone in a string matches only a space-character. EXAMPLE
