There’s no way to do it truly randomly with GREP. You could create a findchangebylist.jsx file that would replace all “e” with “r” and all “T” with “A” and so on, but it would do the same thing for all letters. It would appear random, but wouldn’t be.

That might be enough to satisfy your client, but a codebreaker would be able to decipher it pretty easily.
