How do I remove certain character in a string?

Is there a method to do so? This is the code I have written. Also, I am using the latest version of Python:

import string

Finn = "It's Adventure Time!"
punctuation = string.punctuation
print(punctuation)
for punc in punctuation:
   if punc in Finn:
       Finn[18] = ' '
print(Finn)

Error I am getting is:

TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

One very short variant is: 

import string

finn = "It's Adventure Time!"
print(finn)
table = str.maketrans("","",string.punctuation)
finn = finn.translate(table)
print(finn)

This solution requires python 3. (As tagged in the OP)

Shortest one, I can think of :P

import string
finn = "It's Adventure Time!"
finn = ''.join(i for i in finn if i not in string.punctuation)

I hope you are expecting this:

import string

Finn = "It's Adventure Time!"
punctuation = string.punctuation
print(punctuation)
for punc in punctuation:
   if punc in Finn:
       Finn = Finn.replace(punc, "")

print(Finn)
