Here's a way to change the tag of an element with no jQuery -

// Just provide the element and the new tag

function changeTag(el, newTag) {
    var outerHTML = el.outerHTML // Get the outerHTML of the element
    var tag = el.tagName // Get the tag of the outerHTML
    var r = new RegExp(tag, 'i') // Prepare a RegExp to replace the old tag with the new tag
    outerHTML = outerHTML.replace(r, newTag) // Replace it
    el.outerHTML = outerHTML // Set the outerHTML of the element
}
