I don't know which particular calculator model you have, but for an HP-12C, the manual says the following:
Digit Separators
As a number is keyed in, each group of three digits to the left of the decimal point is automatically separated in the display. When the calculator is first turned on after coming from the factory - or after Continuous Memory is reset - the decimal point in displayed numbers is a dot, and the separator between each group of three digits is a comma. If you wish, you can set the calculator to display
a comma for the decimal point and a dot for the three-digit separator. To do so, turn the calculator off, then press and hold down the [.] key while you press [ON]. Doing so again sets the calculator to use the original digit separators in the display.

SOURCE: display shows comma in place of decimal point?

To change the ´comma´, make sure the calculator is switched to off, press (.) key and maintain, switch the calculator ON. This operation changes dot to comma and vice-versa.

Is there a way to change the decimal point for the decimal comma in my Casio FC-200v?

No, decimal points are the established way in all the world. A comma is a pause, not a point.

I can't set total time and total odo on my Sigma BC 906. Because of place of dot. How to change the place of dot ?

The dot (".") on the "Total ODO" display is not decimal point, it is thousands (digit grouping) separator. If you want to set e.g. 330.75 km, then you enter "00.331". If you want to set 1145 km, you enter "01.145". The decimal point on this Sigma computer is denoted using decimal comma "," (as used in German and other lagnuages/countries) even if you set the language of the computer to English. You can see decimal comma e.g. in "TRIP DIST" display.

Wrong format for numbers displayed in HP 12C

It's been awhile since I used one of these but there should be a decimal function on the keys. Make sure you put a 2 in there before pressing it and it should display the format using 200.00
