Is it possible to retrieve all href elements on a page that is an iframe?

Meaning, I have a page that is iframing a page from different site. What I am showing in the iframe contains a number of links (href tags).

Is it possible to add a TARGET attribute of BLANK to all links inside the iframe? The links are buried inside a number of divs and tables, so I need to be able to recursively add the attribute inside many nested tables/divs.

EDIT:
Added screenshot to show extra characters needed to be removed:

    If the iframe src it’s on the same domain you can easily access it by using document.getElementById(“frameID”).document and manipulate that.

    If it’s a different domain you may consider link the iframe to a script in your own domain, and make that script download the data from the remote domain and print out:)

    myHTMLpage.html

    <html>
    <head>
    <title></title>
        <script src="jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#ifr").load(function () {
                var ifr = document.getElementById("ifr")
                var anchors = ifr.contentDocument.getElementsByTagName("a");
                for (var i in anchors) {
                    anchors[i].setAttribute("target", "_blank");
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <iframe src="myOwnSite.aspx" width="900px" height="600px" id="ifr" ></iframe>
    </body>
</html>

    myOwnSite.aspx

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyOwnSite.aspx.cs" Inherits="MyOwnSite" %>

    myOwnSite.aspx.cs

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net;


public partial class MyOwnSite : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            Response.Write(new WebClient().DownloadString("http://theExternalSiteHere.com"));
        }
    }
}
