Default Format colum for number and next colum age

Im from south africa. we use a ID number system. it looks and consist of the
following

800506 5001 05 2
The user will enter the 13 numbers without space or any thing. What i need is:

================================================== ==
colum d to automaticly put a space after the first 6 numbers and a space
after the next four numbers and then after the next to numbers ie:

8005065001052 = 800506 5001 05 2

then
colum e i need to deduct the first six numbers from todays date becouse the
first six numbers represent the date of birth that is 1980-05-06

so colum e will then show the persons age ie: 28
================================================== ===

do appreciate

thanx
