sed will do a substitution quite nicely. try
sed -e 's/ / / g' < tabbedfile > spacedfile
between the first two / is a tab, and between the secondand third / is
the desired number of spaces. The trailing g says to replace all tabs.
Replace 'tabbedfile' with the filename of the file containing the
offending tabs. Replace 'spacedfile' with the file name of the output
file that will now be tab free.
Check out man sed
