The key is that the "Send Birthday Greetings" action does not, despite the name, actually send the greetings. It merely prepares them as draft messages ready to be sent. You supply a "Send Outgoing Messages" step to actually send them, but you can insert extra steps in the workflow between these actions to customize the message before they go. In this case...
Add a "Run AppleScript" action to change the sender of the message before sending it.
That is, your Automator workflow should contain:
Step 1. Find People with birthdays. (Customize as you see fit.)
Step 2. Send Birthday greetings. (Customize as you see fit.)
Step 3. Run Applescript. Modify the automatically generated script to say:
on run {input, parameters}
repeat with aMessage in input
tell application "Mail"
set sender of aMessage to "Your Full Name <email@hidden>"
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run
Step 4. Send Outgoing Messages.
