you should always say whether you are using xslt 1 or 2, especially if 
asking about string handling,

do you actually need position based replace, (that would be easy using 
xslt 2 regexp, or only slightly more verbose using a mixture of 
substring and concat) but your original problem statement could be 
solved by translate(.,'-','0')
