I have a card with a due date of today. The task is complete, and we've moved it to our "Done" list.
How can I update the card so that the due date icon is not red implying that it is late while retaining the date for historical reference?

The improved due dates feature has been implemented.
To clear a due date, click on the card, then click the due date, then click the "Remove" button.
If you have a card with a due date, add a checklist to the card. Even a checklist of one item will do the trick.
When you have completed the checklist item(s), check them off. Once all the checklist items are checked off, the due date icon will turn from red to green, indicating that you have met your deadline.
You can, of course, do this in conjunction with moving the card into a “done” column.
Our team decided to remove members from the card once it goes into the "Done" list. That way it does not appear in anyone's card list, but unlike archiving, it remains in the Done list for future viewing.
As of the Nov 29, 2016 update, you can now check the due date as done when editing the card back. This will cause the due date to show in green on both the card front and back.
Also, if you're using the calendar power up, the card title will be displayed using strike-through text on the calendar.
I think it would be a great addition if the card itself had a "completed" check box similar to the check list items. At the moment, my workaround is to create a check list per card and add at least one item. It would be much quicker to simply set the card itself to "completed". Furthermore, it would be nice to add an optional "completion date" to a card or check list, which would be displayed if it differs from the original due date.
A workaround: change the year to '99' or '2099' but leave the month and day the same, the button will be gray.
As above, add a checklist to the card, with one item: 'Done'. (Or make this the last item on an existing checklist). When this is ticked it will appear as a green ticked box on the card. The red 'Date' box will fade over a period of days, making it distinct, to some extent, from other 'live' cards.
