    vb Code:
    1. dim str as string = textbox1.text
    2. dim charPosition as integer = 3
    3. dim newChar as string = "X"
    4. str = str.substring(0, charPosition -1) & newChar & str.substring(charPosition)
    5. msgbox(str)

    You can also do it with remove and insert.

    Code:
            Dim myString As String = "working all day"
            myString = myString.Remove(2, 1).Insert(2, "X")
            MessageBox.Show(myString)
    Note that 2 is the index, since the first character in the string is at position 0. That makes the 3rd character in the string position 2.
