In our network, we have a windows server 2008 R2 std ( not activated yet, still on 60days trial period) (Server A) and a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enter ( fully activated ) (Server B) i have made windows server 2008 R2 std (Server A) a domain controller and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enter (Server B) an additional domain controller.

Now I want to uninstall windows server 2008 R2 std from Server A and windows server 2008 std as we have license for windows server 2008 std

Now can i install one more additional domain SERVER C and transfer all the FSMO roles from windows server 2008 R2 std Server A to this additional domain controller SERVER C and then format my windows server 2008 R2 STD and install New windows server 2008 std on it and make it an additional Domain controller for SERVER C and then transfer back all the FSMO roles from SERVER C to Server A.

can i do that?? will it affect my network in any means

As long as the domain isn't 2008r2 level (its 2008 rtm or below) then yes.
