First make sure the "Use wildcards" option in the More section of the Replace
dialog is checked.
The Find What expression should be
([\(])[0-9]{1,}(,)
and the Replace With expression should be
\1"\2
See

I have a lot of lines tlike this

xxxxxx(3, sdas...
The xxxxx can be anything. It always contains a left parenthesis, a number
and a comma, though. I want to replace all numbers with " to make the lines
look like
xxxxxx(", sdas
xxxxxx(", sdas
xxxxxx(", sdas
The numbers can have more than one digit. I have tried a lot of
combinations, but it just tells me, its an invalid search expression for
patterns.
