You can use GAE Cron jobs, but be careful as they don't support HTTPS!

According to the official AppEngine blog's public roadmap update two weeks ago, scheduled tasks (as well as background task queues) are due for the release in the moderately near future ("in the next six months," as of Feb. 6, 2009).
