+    Instead, you can convert the string into a list, modify the list element (string character) you wish to change, and then join  the list elements back to a string, like so:
+        
+        >>> foo = "my string"
+        >>> foo_list_form = list(foo)
+        >>> foo_list_form[0] = "a"
+        >>> foo = ' '.join(foo_list_form)
+        >>> print(foo)
+        ay string # The required output
