Depends why there squeaking... if wet they will dryout and should stop ... if there contaminated you could try brake cleaner and sandpaper but better to replace’

I dislike, intensely, brakes that make a noise!

My OE brake pads can squeal when they get wet (4 weeks old now). They were properly bedded in, but they still squeal more than any other pads I've had. What fixes them is to ride with the brake on to heat up the pads. But then they get wet again! When starting out on a wet ride, I usually have to do this a few times, but after about 30 mins, it does not return until the next ride out. I carry my bike on a tow bar mounted rack, so the pads can get wet on the journey to the trail. So I guess I won't be suffering this problem once the drier weather arrives, or until I get fed up and change the pads!
