You can do that manually following the documentation of the bib module, but you can probably get bibtex to help at least with the initial step by wrapping all your strings in a second pair of {} items. So, write author= {{D. Adams}} instead of just author= {D. Adams} this will prevent bibtex from looking into the string, and therefore it will not do bad things with the utf (the bibtex output will be a little bit wrong, but it is easier to fix just that manually than to rewrite the whole database in bbl format).
