Depends on what you want. If you just want them to appear as 4 space
tabs (and don't care how it's actually stored in the file), you can
set your tabstop to 4 spaces via
set ts=4
If you want to make tabs map to 4 spaces in input mode, it's
map! ^V^I ^V <cr>
The ! means input mode, not command mode.
This doesn't quite do what you might want in all cases, as it
literally expands the tab to 4 spaces.
Both examples are for your .exrc file.
