UPDATE A
SET A.Name =
CASE
WHEN LEFT(B.Name, 3) = '12.' THEN RTRIM(LTRIM(REPLACE(B.NAME, LEFT(B.Name, 3), '')))
WHEN LEFT(B.Name, 2) = '12' THEN RTRIM(LTRIM(REPLACE(B.NAME, LEFT(B.Name, 2), '')))

ELSE B.Name
END

FROM TableName A
INNER JOIN TableName B
ON A.PK_ID = B.PK_ID

You can use REPLACE() to clean it up.

If you only want to display it differently you can do something like:

SQL

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(field1, '12).', ''), '(12.', '') -- replace strings with blanks
FROM table1 
ORDER BY  REPLACE(REPLACE(field1, '12).', ''), '(12.', '')

You can update it the same way

SQL

UPDATE table1 SET field1 = REPLACE(REPLACE(field1, '12).', ''), '(12.', '') -- replace strings with blanks
