For that you will need to use the bulk metadata editor and the "Search and replace" tab. You can use regex to split the filename string and put it into the column of your choice. There are plenty of discussion on using the "Search and replace" in the forum to have a look at. And I think there were some examples in the GetFileName thread.

You could also look at the Action Chains plugin. There is probably a way to do this using that plugin.
