there are more elegant ways, but for you to get a quick proof of concept,
try something like this:
var src=document.body.innerHTML;
src.replace("&","&");
document.body.innerHTML=src;
would replace the html source code & with &
anything that you can see with view source you ought to be able to replace
with something else, it's not on a hex level though, so you need to find the
entity in view source and copy and paste whatever it there.
Ideally you don't use the entire document.body and avoid innerHTML
You're probably better off asking the website fix it
