In some countries one use comma as decimal separator instead of a dot.
I ususally use:
%%%% Une vrai virgule pour les décimaux
\DeclareMathSymbol{@}{\mathord}{letters}{"3B}
and $3@2$
to obtain 3,2
instead of $3,2$
that gives 3, 2 <- a uggly useless space after comma
I just find this :
\mathcode`\.="8000
{\catcode`\.=\active
\gdef.{,}}
That replaces automatically a dot by a comma in math mode, but with the ungly useless space.
Is there a way to combine both technics to have an automatic sustitution with a proper comma ?
Edit Sorry !
It was obvious :
%%%% Une vrai virgule pour les décimaux
\DeclareMathSymbol{@}{\mathord}{letters}{"3B}
\mathcode`\.="8000
{\catcode`\.=\active
\gdef.{@}}
Could this code have boder effect ?
Is there a better or other way to get this ?

To answer your original question. You could redefine
.
to produce another symbol in math mode.Here in a MWE
