Hi sudhanshu!
This should be relatively simple with a search/replace in sed. What have you tried so far?

Using sed you can look for spaces and tabs [ \t] (extended regular expressions will allow modifiers to that). Then you can replace with a comma.
The general format of the sed search/pattern/replace is: s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/g I added the g on the end as it is a modifier to include all matches on a line, not just the first (something I think you want).
