Changing the 4th and 5th characters on your input lines to 3-digit pseudo-random numbers in the output (as shown in your sample input and output) could be done with something like:
If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
You can adjust the number and positions of the characters replaced in your input lines to match the description of your requirements instead of matching the sample input and output you provided if you want to.

shuffle
SHUFFLE(1) BSD General Commands Manual SHUFFLE(1)NAME
shuffle -- print a random permutation of the command line arguments
SYNOPSIS
shuffle [-0] [-f filename ...] [-n number] [-p number] [arg] [...]
DESCRIPTION
The shuffle program prints a random permutation (or ``shuffle'') of its command line arguments. This can be useful in shell scripts for
selecting a random order in which to do a set of tasks, view a set of files, etc.
If the -f option is given, the data is taken from that files' contents or if the filename is - ``stdin''.
If the -n option is given, its argument is treated as a number, and the program prints a random permutation of the numbers greater than or
equal to 0 and less than the argument.
If the -p option is given, its argument is treated as a number, and the program prints that number of randomly selected lines or arguments in
a random order.
The -0 option changes the field separator character from
to , so that the output is suitable to be sent to xargs(1) (to handle filenames
with whitespace in them).
EXAMPLES
$ shuffle a b c d
c
b
d
a
$ shuffle -p 1 a b c d
d
$ shuffle -n 4 -p 2
0
3
SEE ALSO jot(1), random(6)HISTORY
The shuffle program first appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
