if your some string contains html tags use html, otherwise text

var someString = "Some String";

$("span#bar:has(h3)").text(someString);

You can use html method:

$('#bar').html('some string');

If you want to just replace the h3 element, you can use replaceWith method:

$('#bar h3').replaceWith('some string');
