In jQuery, you'd do it like this:

$("#text").val("my new value");

You might also want to read the jQuery documentation on this topic

Without jQuery:

document.getElementById("text").setAttribute("value", "my new value");

Hope that helps.

The Javascript would be:

document.getElementById('text').value = 'Blahblah';
