So far i have tried:

Answer 1

Ever heard of substr() ?

For a starter :

$("#test").text($("#test").text().substr(0,1).toUpperCase()+$("#test").text().substr(1,$("#test").text().length));

[Update:]

Thanks to @FelixKling for the tip:

$("#test").text(function(i, text) {
    return text.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + text.substr(1);
});
