We can use a regular expression replace which will be the fastest, compared to substring/slice.

var hreftxt ="app/controller/action/05/04/2014";
hreftxt = hreftxt.replace(/\/[^\/]*$/,"");

if you know which value you need to change ,than you can use replace:

var str = "app/controller/action/05/04/2014";
var res = str.replace("2014","04");

or else you can use array and change / update last value in array:

var str = "app/controller/action/05/04/2014";
var res = str.split("/");

Try using the String.lastIndexOf() and String.substring() in this context to achieve what you want,

var xText ="app/controller/action/05/04/2014";
xText = xText.substring(0,xText.lastIndexOf('/'));
