var a = '2008, 1993';
var array = a.split(',');
var b = parseInt(array[0]);
var c = parseInt(array[1]);

The .split() method lets you split up a string into an array of substrings based on a separator that you specify.
var a = "2008, 2009",
items = a.split(/, ?/),
b = +items[0],
c = +items[1];
I would suggest a regex /, ?/ to split on, i.e., a comma followed by an optional space - though if you know there will always be both a comma and a space you could say a.split(", ").
Since you seem to want the individual items as numbers rather than strings I have shown how to convert them using the unary plus operator.

You are looking for split function like this:
var array = '2008, 1993'.split(',');
var b = parseInt(array[0]);
var c = parseInt(array[1]);
or like this:
var a = '2008, 1993'.split(', '), b = a.shift(), c=a.shift()
