If you can somehow export the card number (or member number, or whatever
you are using as an identifier) and the enrollment date and the expiration
date from your old system for each member, then it should be fairly easy
to write a custom script that would correct this data in Koha.  You'll
need to find someone who can write scripts that interact with Koha's MySQL
database.  The Koha code is written in Perl and uses the DBI and
DBD::mysql Perl modules to work with MySQL, but any language that can
modify your MySQL database should be OK.
