Update record's foreign key field based on a newly inserted record's primary key

You can use a cursor to loop through TableA and create the records:

DECLARE @Id int
DECLARE @ForeignKey int

DECLARE C CURSOR FOR SELECT Id FROM TableA

OPEN C

FETCH NEXT FROM C INTO @Id

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO TableB VALUES (value1)
    SET @ForeignKey = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

    UPDATE TableA
    SET ForeignKey = @ForeignKey
    WHERE Id = @Id

    FETCH NEXT FROM C INTO @Id
END

CLOSE C
DEALLOCATE C
