did you change id to CHAR(36) in mysql ?

you could 

alter table by adding a temporary 'newid' field 

$this->saveField('newid', $new);

once looks good remove id, rename newid to id, add indexes etc... 

or

UPDATE entries SET id = uuid();


Careful if you have related tables with foreign key, as those need to be 
updated as well..
