Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
The simplest way is to use Find/Replace (Ctrl+H)

In the Find What area type in "," (without the quotes) and in the replace with area type in whatever you want to replace , with and click the button called Replace All.

You'll have to use this multiple times, once for each character you want to replace)
