Colleagues

I would appreciate some help with regular expressions.

I have string that looks like:
        " ITERATION              ,THETA1                 ,THETA2                
 ,THETA3                 ,THETA4                 ,THETA5                 
,THETA6                 ,THETA7                 ,SIGMA(1,1)             
,SIGMA(2,1)             ,SIGMA(2,2)”

In the entries that contain:
        (X,Y)                   # for example, SIGMA(1,1)
I would like to replace the comma with a period, e.g., SIGMA(1.1) but NOT the 
other commas

The end-result would be:
        " ITERATION              ,THETA1                 ,THETA2                
 ,THETA3                 ,THETA4                 ,THETA5                 
,THETA6                 ,THETA7                 ,SIGMA(1.1)             
,SIGMA(2.1)             ,SIGMA(2.2)”

Can someone provide the regular expression code to accomplish this?
Thanks.
