I presume you are using awk anyhow, as proposed by RavinderSingh13 and Don Cragun? How about adapting their code, like
Code:
awk 'BEGIN { FS = OFS = "\t" } { $2 = $2 OFS (!(NR-1)?"id":$1); $(NF+1) = !(NR-1)?"target":1.3 } 1'  file
index	name	id	chg_p	chg_m	target
1	name,1	1	1	0	1.3
2	name,2	2	1	1	1.3
3	name,3	3	1	0	1.3
4	name,4	4	1	0	1.3
5	name,5	5	1	1	1.3
