You'll need to get rid of the commas first:

$number = str_replace( ',', '', $number );

Then you can use str_pad as was suggested in this question, which Francesco Malatesta posted as a comment.

$number = str_pad( $number, 3, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );

You can reduce it to a oneliner:

$number = str_pad( str_replace( ',', '', $number ), 3, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );
