java replace character in string

1//short answer: you cannot individually change any specific character
2//of a String in java. You can however do this:
3
4String s1 = "This is a String";
5String s2 = s1.substring(0, 8) + "o" + s1.substring(9);
6System.out.println(s2);
7//Prints "This is o String", replaced the 8th character with an o

1String s = "new String";
2String replaced = s.replace("new","Test");
3							  ^		 ^
4                             old    new char

1// We want to replace every # with a 8
2String larry = "Larry is # years old";
3String newString = larry.replace("#", "8");

1String str = in.nextLine();	//Original String
2char cr = in.next().charAt(0); // character to replace
3int index = in.nextInt();	// Index where replaced
4str = str.substring(0, index) + cr + str.substring(index + 1);// modified string

5        char ch = '|'; 
6 
7        StringBuilder string = new StringBuilder(str); 
8        string.setCharAt(index, ch);

10        System.out.println(string);
