The question is a bit too broad, IMHO. The following stylesheet will remove a trailing period from any text node in the entire document, leaving everything else as is:

XSLT 1.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()[substring(., string-length()) ='.']">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring(., 1, string-length() - 1)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
