If calling from beforeSave(), the best place might be AppModel. If you don't already have one of those, copy the file at cake/libs/models/app_model.php to your app directory (not app/models) and modify that. You would then call the function from within your own model as $this->yourFunction(...).
Other places to put this function would be bootstrap.php or AppController. If in the former, call it as yourFunction(). If the latter, call it from within a controller as $this->yourFunction(...).
