What have you tried so far?

Member Avatar for wrathness 
Dim name As String = "Don Paul"
Dim position As Integer = name.IndexOf("P") ' get the position of the first letter in the surname    
Dim reversed As String = name.Substring(position) + ", " + name.Substring(0, 1) 'join the surname with the first letter of the name

Hope this helps

Mind you if you have different names you want to process it might be better to use the space instead:

    Dim name As String = "Don Paul"
    Dim position As Integer = name.IndexOf(" ") + 1
    name = name.Substring(position) & ", " & name.First
