Unwanted Charecters in DB

Hi,
I have an unclean data stored in oracle DB. It contains many undisplyable characters that reflect the wrong ASCII decimal. For example the correct ASCII (' ') is 32 but when I do ASCII on this invisible character I would get 0.
I need to create a stored procedure that will take fields from the DB. Search them for the unwanted characters, clean it up and re-post the cleaned data back in the DB.
I don't know how many or what type of invisible characters that are stored. I know some of the unwanted characters are visible for viewing when I do select in SQL but the uses can't see them in the forms. Help please.
