Yes - there are many ways to do this but you need to do two things:
1) change the existing .dat files from -kb to -ko, eg:
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/update.html#update-options
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/commit.html#commit-options

cvs up -ko filename.dat
cvs ci -f -m "change to a non-binary file" fileaname.dat

2) change the 'default' so that new .dat files are -ko
