How can i change date format(sed command)

I have log file, and here is output:

2014109 13:42:17;10.8.0.6;/home/spy/www/index.html;13

yearmonthday

I need to change date format -> 2014109 to 20141009.

I change Oct format to 10, using sed:

sed -i 's/Oct/10/g;

How can i use sed for day format?

If the first field is only 7 digits, insert a zero before the last digit:

sed -r -i 's/^([0-9]{6})([0-9])\b/\10\2/'
