I didn’t understand exactly what you wanna do, but you can get all objects with a given tag using FindGameObjectsWithTag(tag), then attach whatever you want to them - like this (code attached to any object in scene):

var prefab: Transform;

function Start(){
  var gOs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("MyTag");
  for (var gObj in gOs){
    gObj.AddComponent(Rigidbody); // add a component like Rigidbody, for instance...
    gObj.AddComponent(MouseLook); // or add a script like MouseLook.cs
    // if you want to instantiate some object and child it to gObj:
    var child = Instantiate(prefab, gObj.transform.position, gObj.transform.rotation);
    child.parent = gObj.transform; // make gObj the child's parent
  }
}

NOTE: Avoid using the GameObject.FindXxxx functions in Update - they aren’t fast, and may slow down your game.
