create a list of character vectors, each of the appropriate length

  value <- lapply(elementLengths(exonRanges), rep, x="*")

convert this list to a class derived from 'AtomicList', and do the
replacement

  strand(exonRanges) <- CharacterList(value)

Sometimes it's easier / faster to work with exons(txdb, column="tx_id")
or similar.
