Hope you mean “assign” and not “convert” Serge?
Mystery CMYK shouldn’t be that hard to work with — even without profiles you can usually tell what sort of CMYK device it was converted for just by looking at the separations.
Most can be repurposed for a different CMYK device in a few minutes using curves.
If you need to make big changes then I don’t think Photoshop is a suitable tool. Professional pre-press kit allows you to repurpose CMYK without completely trashing useful information from original separations.
If the reproduction quality is super-critical then I’d always recommend proofing before editing the images.
