I think this is what you're after: Demo

var re = new RegExp("(http:\/\/(?:www\.)?facebook.com)","gi");
$("body").html($("body").html().replace(re, "<a href='$1/chitralekha.in'> chitralekha.in </a>"));

And for grabbing the username too: Demo

$("#selector").filter(function(){
 return this.value.match(\bhttp://www.facebook.com/\b)
});

It can be done with a regular expression. You look for the text that you want to replace and you do it.
