The keyPress event of selenium can be helpful:

selenium.sendKeys("text1", "ABCD");
selenium.sendKeys("text1", "\b");
selenium.sendKeys("text1", "\b");

This will Click Backspace key twice.

For firefox, the backspace event works only if you setCursorPosition at the END of the text in the textarea, otherwise the typeKeys event will type at the begining of the text.

Try this - 

selenium.type("text_box_object", "ABCD");
selenium.typeKeys("text_box_object", "\b");
selenium.typeKeys("text_box_object", "\b");

Read the current value and store it as a variable. Then 'Type' out the value that you want in the target field (using a substring of the stored value).
