Capture them and reformat them as you see fit:
:%s/\(\d\{4}\)\(\d\{2}\)\(\d\{2}\)/\1.\2/.\3/
Or, you can use visual block mode (control+V by default) and select
the two month columns. Press "I" followed by a period followed by
<esc> to insert the first period. Type "gv" to re-visualize that
block, pressing "A" followed by a period followed by <esc> to add the
second period.
Vim gives you lots of nice ways to do these sorts of things. :-)
