This will handle overriding master items and deleting items from a page:
set pageNum to 1
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell document 1
override master page items of page pageNum destination page page pageNum
delete page items of page pageNum
end tell
end tell

And this will take care of deleting items from a master page:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell document 1
delete page items of master spread "A-Master"
end tell
end tell
