I'm not sure, but something like this should get you started:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set find preferences to nothing
set change preferences to nothing
tell document 1
set theStyle to paragraph style "Bullets"
set thePars to search with find attributes {applied paragraph
style:theStyle}
try -- trap for no finds
thePars
on error
set thePars to {}
end try
repeat with i from (count of thePars) to 1 by -1
set contents of insertion point 1 of item i of thePars to "� "
end repeat
end tell
set find preferences to nothing
end tell
