Answer 1

You can use this:

let s = "This is my string"
let modified = s.replace(" ", withString:"+")    

If you add this extension method anywhere in your code:

extension String
{
    func replace(target: String, withString: String) -> String
    {
       return self.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(target, withString: withString, options: NSStringCompareOptions.LiteralSearch, range: nil)
    }
}

Swift 3:

extension String
{
    func replace(target: String, withString: String) -> String
    {
        return self.replacingOccurrences(of: target, with: withString, options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: nil)
    }
}
