A natural way would be to set a desired format mask in the Format Mask field property; for example, 999G999G999D99 (note that I didn't use comma or full-stop characters, but more universal Group and Decimal separators).

Another way would be to apply the TO_CHAR function in the SELECT statement, such as

SELECT TO_CHAR(amount, '999G999G999D99') amount
FROM ...

Or, you could even create a formula column and return a character representation of a number, formatted as you desire.
