There is a really useful plugin you can download off http://vim8.org called csv.vim. I believe you can change the separator from comma to tab, though I haven't tried it with anything but commas.
Even if you can't change the separator, you could always do a global substitution to replace all tabs with commas, do your work and then do another substitution to replace all commas with tabs. If you're concerned about actual commas that may be in your text, you could first do a substitution to replace them with the word COMMA so they are retained.

--Hi
are there commands to work in the nth tab separated field (like awk)? As I understand it block visual doesn't do this.
