Once you have aggregated a feed into your blog, the content of its posts are fully under your control and appear in your WP admin just like any post you have written yourself. You could edit the body text, the title, the date, whatever.

But the issue is, it really sucks that anyone would have to do anything manually. In my opinion, the very nicest thing about using feeds is that you get all of that content by simply clicking 'update feeds'. Now, if you are running a big aggregator and you're pulling down a ton of feeds, dupe posts wouldn't be all that noticeable and not really something to worry about. On a smaller personal blog, where the content is mostly your own posts and a couple of aggregated feeds, then it will be far more noticeable.
