Well, that really depends on what you mean by "open." Regardless though,
you can accomplish what you're looking for...

Your code would look something like:
<!--- Read contents of file to a variable --->
<CFFILE ACTION="Read" FILE="C:\Temp\myFile.html" VARIABLE="fileContents">
<!--- Replace place holder text --->
<CFSET fileContents = Replace(fileContents, "***REPLACE THIS***", "Hi
Mom!")>
<!--- Overwrite file with new contents --->
<CFFILE ACTION="Write" FILE="C:\Temp\myFile.html" OUTPUT="#fileContents#">
The above code would replace the place holder text with "Hi Mom."
