If the View is an EditText you can do:

id16 = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise('id/no_id/16')
for i in range(25):
    id16.backspace()

for EditText containing some data you can do this:

view= vc.findViewById(ID)    
if view.getClass()=='android.widget.EditText':
    textPresent=view.getText()
    for i in range(len(textPresent)):
        view.backspace()
    print 'removed existing text'`

Though it deletes one character at a time and thus consumes lot of time for long strings
