Scandinavia wasn't colonised. Of course, some inland and northern parts of it were "colonised" by the local population, but modern Scandinavians are largely the native people of Scandinavia. (Though, of course at some point in history they must have arrived, maybe even replacing the "original" "native" population, if there is one.)
The first written proof of "the ancestors of modern Scandinavian people" in Scandinavia is in the late 1st century BCE, when Tacitus, a Roman senator and historian wrote about people in Scandinavia. He called one of their tribes the Suiones. He described them having powerful fleets, and described a ship of their's that is an accurate description of a Viking longboat, and other descriptions of their appearance that loosely matched with that of Scandinavians'.
The language of the before mentioned "native" population is unknown, but the ancestors of the tribe Tacitus above described, were the ones that "colonised", and that brought the Indo-European language family to Scandinavia were the "Battle Axe culture".. They spoke the likely ancestor of Scandinavian languages.. Their occupation included most of modern-day Germany, Denmark, Poland, the Baltic States, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, northern Ukraine, and western Russia, as well as southern Sweden, Swedish speaking Finland, and a thin line along the southern coasts of Norway.
Oh, and to answer when; these before mentioned "Battle Axe People" started developing in various areas from ca. 3200 BC/2900 BC to ca. 2300 BC/1800 BC.
