Check the Book of Exalted Deeds...there's a template in the monster section for reformed/rehabilitated creatures...I believe it's called "Redeemed" but I'm not sure.

The Sanctified Creature template is applied to a creature by the use of the exalted spell (*ahem*) Sanctify the Wicked (Book of Exalted Deeds, pg 106). It is a 9th level spell that takes one full year to have it's effect, and the cost is a 10,000gp Diamond and the sacrifice by the caster of one full level. Did I mention it's all or nothing? If the diamond (which is the receptical for the soul) is destroyed before the year is out, the creature remains evil and, futher it actively seeks out the caster for revenge.

Also, the Book of Exalted Deeds (pg 28) shows how diplomacy can be used, but this method doesn't apply the Sanctified Creature template.

In either case, it takes a while. Changing alignment is not a sudden thing (unless you use the Helm of Opposite alignment, but that's a curse that can be removed and it's an involuntary alignment change).
