I would suggest you go for this link.
where once you created the sp it will be used for many way, you can use for splitting string format as well as column format data.

sql-server-user-defined-function-to-split-the-string Or Column-by-special-char/[^]

Hope this will help you.

Nawab... in your case you have to use replace, please see the below example

select replace(empid,'P000','') as empid1 from tablename

If you want to use it with update

update tablename set empid=replace(empid,'P000','') .....

Note: Please ensure that this is not the primary key field of the table
