This is how I do it, without invoking any applications outside AppleScript:

set theFile to (choose file) as text
set {od, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to ¬
	{AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
set theFile to text items 1 thru -2 of theFile
set theFile to alias (theFile as text)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to od
theFile
