or you make this little applescript :

on open (FileList)
  repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the FileList
    tell application "Finder"
      set thisFile to item i of FileList
      set (creator type of file thisFile) to "XXXX"
    end tell
  end repeat
end open


XXXX is NPOV for MegaPov and POV3 for POV-Ray. Let " arond XXXX.
this script can change the creator for all fileS dragged on it.
other thing. you can add this line :
    set (file type of file thisFile) to "TEXT"

to change the fileS type in one shot.


hope that help !
