Another way would be to create a helper.

How about this helper: http://pastie.org/595351

// use it like so
$data = array('Model'=>array('status'=>1));
echo $dataConverter->nice('Model.status', 'onoff', $data);

IMHO the thing to remember is that you only adjust the data for
presentation only, hence it's done in either the view or the
controller.
