Replacing field based on the value of other field

Hi Team,

In the below input file, if I have the value 23,24,25 then for those records 1st field value should get updated from "a" to "b". I also want to pass these values in file as input as it can be done dynamically. Tried awk commands but not getting desired output.Using SunOS 5.10 version. Thanks in advance.

Input


Code:
a,test,xyz,23,test
a,test2,abc,24,test
a,test3,def,25,test
a,test4,ghe,26,test

Output

Code:
b,test,xyz,23,test
b,test2,abc,24,test
b,test3,def,25,test
a,test4,ghe,26,test
