This is a bash example
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ARRAY[0]=DFSG345GGG
ARRAY[1]=234FDFG090
ARRAY[2]=VDFVGBGHH

x=0;while [ ${x} -lt ${#ARRAY[*]} ] ; do ARRAY[$x]=$(tr [A-Z] [a-z] <<< ${ARRAY[$x]}); let x++; done
x=0;while [ ${x} -lt ${#ARRAY[*]} ] ; do echo ${ARRAY[$x]}; let x++; done

and this is a bash 4.x only , shell only solution
Code:
#!/bin/bash

ARRAY[0]=DFSG345GGG
ARRAY[1]=234FDFG090
ARRAY[2]=VDFVGBGHH

x=0;while [ ${x} -lt ${#ARRAY[*]} ] ; do ARRAY[$x]=${ARRAY[$x],,}; let x++; done
x=0;while [ ${x} -lt ${#ARRAY[*]} ] ; do echo ${ARRAY[$x]}; let x++; done
