st: transforming observations

Dear statalisters, 
I need to transform observations in my dataset (3476 obervations by 40 variables) into categorical variables based on the following set of rules :
observation x=0 if temp<=0
observation x=1 if temp==30
observation x=x if temp>=31
As you could imagine it would take me ages to do that one by one. Is there a compact way of doing this?
Many thanks in advance
minti
