Command Used

Below Answer by Zett42 works but
(Import-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|') |
Select-Object 'id',
#{ n = 'name'; e = { $_.name.Replace('$', ',') } },
'place' |
Export-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|'
but the tricky part is we are replacing the ,(Comma) value and rewriting the CSV files again, so CSV file creation part considers the value after ,(comma) as new column and move the value to column B instead of Column A.

This should do the trick:
Import-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|' |
ForEach-Object {
$_.name = $_.name.Replace('$', ',')
$_ # Implicit output - gets passed to Export-Csv
} |
Export-Csv D:\CSV\Customer_new.csv -Delimiter '|' -NoTypeInformation
In your code, there is a pipe symbol | missing at the end of the Import-Csv line.
As the CSV uses non-standard delimiters, you have to specify them using -Delimiter.
Also, the -replace operator doesn't modify its arguments, so you are actually just outputting the replaced value. Also, '$' has special meaning in regular expression patterns, which -replace uses, so you have to backslash-escape it or use the String.Replace() method as I did in the code above. The String.Replace() method doesn't use RegEx.
In the ForEach-Object script block, the $_ at the end is necessary to output the current object again, so it gets send down the pipeline to Export-Csv. Otherwise Export-Csv wouldn't have anything to output.
Alternative code using Select-Object:
Import-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|' |
Select-Object 'id',
#{ n = 'name'; e = { $_.name.Replace('$', ',') } },
'place' |
Export-Csv D:\CSV\Customer_new.csv -Delimiter '|' -NoTypeInformation
To overwrite the existing file instead of creating a new file use the group operator () to collect all data in memory and close the old file before overwriting the file:
(Import-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|') |
Select-Object 'id',
#{ n = 'name'; e = { $_.name.Replace('$', ',') } },
'place' |
Export-Csv D:\CSV\Customer.csv -Delimiter '|' -NoTypeInformation
IMO this is somewhat cleaner as you don't need to modify the current pipeline object and don't need to explicitly forward it to the next command.
It uses a calculated property to generate the new value for the name column. In this case we don't need to assign the result back to $_.name because calculated properties automatically assign the output from the script block to the property.
