Formatting is a front-end issue. You should probably create the column as a
BIGINT, or some type of Decimal.

create table #t
(
col1 int,
col2 as convert(varchar,cast(col1 as money),1)
)
insert into #t values (10000)
select * from #t
If it does not help you ,please lookup SUBSTRING system function in the BOL

If it's a numeric column then use one of the numeric datatypes.

Still a front-end issue.
Storing is not the same as displaying or migrating.
If you want to migrate it as something else, then you have multiple options.
You could create a view and convert it to just about any format that you
wish.

Take a look at the CONVERT function in SQL Server.
-- Create a table variable to hold our data.
DECLARE @.Foo TABLE (
x bigint
)
-- Load a value
INSERT @.Foo VALUES (10000000)
-- Convert BigInt to money datatype, then convert the money to a character
string and specify the "1" flag
-- so that commas are added in the appropriate place.
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(20), CONVERT(money, x), 1) FROM @.Foo
