Default Using a macro to edit part of a cell

Am trying to edit data in the worksheet where I have to edit only part
of the text in the cell - using a macro.

146-P1-0502 L
145-P13-0502 L
145-P8-0403 L
145-P9-0504 L
145-P10-0406 L

I only want to change the 0502 part to 0706 in all the cells. Tried
using a macro to select only part of it but it changes the other data
parts also.

I tried the code below but then it doesn't work for 145-P13-0502 L
where we have 2 digits after the P.

Dim StartChar As Integer
Dim EndChar As Integer
StartChar = 8
EndChar = 3
ActiveCell.Characters(StartChar, EndChar).Insert (206)

Please help.
