Do you happen

to know how to change a spot color to CMYK?



OK this is a bit embarrassing, I haven't really complied anything too special for you here, but this might put you on the path.. I read in a AI CS scripting guide that you can "force" a document to open as CMYK or RGB.. I did not get that to work here.. So assuming your document is CMYK, (you might have to figure that bit out for CS2, if you do, let me know) and assuming you have the object selected (I imagine you're looping through every object somehow) here is something to help you with the currently selected item.. 

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
        tell front document
                set theColor to get fill color of selection
                if class of theColor is spot color info then
                        set theSpot to spot of theColor
                        set fourcolour to color of theSpot
                        set fill color of selection to fourcolour
                end if
        end tell
end tell

Hope that helps..
