Splittingn and combining the number again

If I have '9,36.486' (double or char) and wish to multiple the 36 with (100/60) and the 486 with *1/100. Can I split the '9,36.486', in three parts and multiply the parts and then recombine them ?

The way you've asked the question suggests to me like you may be trying to import timing data. Is that correct? If so try creating a custom import format and calling datetime to read in your data using that import format. See the description of the infmt input argument on that page for more information.
