If you want to do this with a behavior then you should look at the beforeDelete callback, you can update your field within this callback and then return false to automatically abort the delete (as per the book).
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/behaviors.html#ModelBehavior::beforeDelete You could also just write something like this in your AppModel to make it apply to all models, my applications use $this->hasField('deleted') to see if soft delete is supported with the model.
