Comma delimited file manipulation

Question about how to change the first & last name in column one & two so that the names have a capital letter for just the first letter. Example:

Code:
asdf@asdf.com,asdf,asdfasdf,176.23.22.345,4/12/2012

changed to:

Code:
asdf@asdf.com,Asdf,Asdfasdf,176.23.22.345,4/12/2012

Thank you kindly,

Nick
