You don't state what version of Kate you are using. In the latese KDE release 
(KDE 3.4, Kate 2.4) the commandline s/// allows you to replace with newline 
or tab. Press F7 to show the command line, and enter 
s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/[gi] to replace in the current line, or 
%s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/[gi] to replace in the entire document.

We are working on support for the regular find/replace functionality.

Alternatively, you can use the text filter plugin in Kate with sed or perl (or 
any other command).
