Hi, I would like to know how to set a character of an String object.
It's just like the opposite of charAt() method which returns the char

You can't, because String is designed to be immutable.
You should use StringBuffer (which is like a mutable String). It has a
setCharAt(...) method.

There are methods/constructors to convert a StringBuffer to String and v.v.
