Can firewall or router modify data?

I’ve heard someone saying that firewall corrupted a file sent by FTP and they have to deliver it on tapes… so can firewall or router modify/change data ? Cisco Flexible Packet Matching (FPM) can match every bit of the payload but cannot modify it. So it’s not possible to configure per say a substitute regex. But Firewall or IOS packet inspection feature can drop certain packets not compliant with corresponding RFC.
