This is ok for normal events in your calendar, but if you are using your calendar to display birthdays using the data held in your google contact's record (or indeed from the record stored on your phone), then if I remember correctly, I have a feeling this cannot be done (on GB at least). Someone will be along to verify this. I can't remember seeing this option on birthday event types.
I'm on D4 Rom now which is ICS CM9 based, and it CAN be done on this.
@swayzak no you don't need duplicates. you can edit exist events from your google calender.
@hawker Am on the stock ROM and you can actually do this.
Select the date with the event on your calender app -> tap the event -> tap the options menu -> select edit -> scroll down to reminders -> change as you want and hit save
p.s. I can't post GB guide as I am on ICS but I recall the steps to be identical

I currently have no "events" stored in Google calendar - just "birthdays"(synced from Google contacts). There is no notification option available for these.
From what you are saying I will need to transfer all these birthdays manually to "events" in order to get notifications.
I don't really want to delete the birthdays, so by this method I will be left with duplicates for each birthday (a "birthday" entry & an "event" entry).

Well the option to remind on a birthday was certainly there on D4Rom. This is ICS (CM9 based) so its either an ICS or CM9 feature.
Going on what Forbidden is saying, it seems its an ICS feature.

The reminder option was surely available on GB too. Of this I am damn sure.
BUT you can't edit events synced from google calender and set up a reminder for those on GB (apparently), but following ICS update I can edit those and set up reminders for them too. And that is what swayzak requires, if I am right, as his b'days and other events are already on his google calender.
U can set up reminder under Clock-alarm-set up yr time & date as per normal alarm but when scroll down at the end of it you wil see name and you type a short task for eg "feed cat" and save it. in this way when the alarm goes off u get to see yr task. The old Nokia phone hv an alarm tone for Reminder tasks but not this suppose high tech phone
