The simple answer is no, that's not something Bacula can do on it's own (or
any other backup system I know of, for that matter).
What you could do, though, is create a script that makes a copy of your data
to a staging area and modifies the data there. You could easily create a
Bacula job that would call this script before each backup run, and have it
backup the staging area instead of the original data.
