Is this in one field, i.e. in one string and duplicates are defined by commas?

That doesn't really explain much.
Can you spell out your requirements
in words? It seems you need to take duplicate values and prefix them with a '9' and then... ???

Do it with stage variables in a Transformer stage. Detect that the value is the same as in the previous row. If so, add prefix and suffix, and increment the stage variable that contains the suffix.
