Um, that sounds like something more suited to a simple sed or awk
script; something like this:

ls | sed -r -n
's/^([0-9]+\.)([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})(-.*\.mnc)$/mv
\1\2-\3-\4\5 \1\4\3\2\5/p' | sh

or something (probably cleaner if you use the hold buffer). If you do
this a lot, it might be better to script it than to rely on editing it
the same way each time.
