Changing value of select box

Question

I am trying to change the value a select box when a certain option is chosen. I have searched for ways to do this but nothing that I have found works.

This is what I have:

(function () {
    var pdc

    $("#dclist").focus(function(){
        pdc = this.value;
    }).change(function () {
        var ndc = this.value;
        if (ndc === "Select") {
                $("#dclist").val(pdc);
            } else {
                //something else
            }
        }
    });
})();

Here is the select box:

<select id="dclist">
   <option value="Select">Please select</option>
   <option value="1">Option 1</option>
   <option value="2">Option 2</option>
</select>

Can anyone help?

Thanks Ryan
