{
case "hello":
code...
break;
}

Answer 1

$("#lbl").text('hello');

See .text()

If the label is inside a naming container, then you can use

$("#<%= lbl.ClientID %>").text("hello");

Answer 2

$("span[id*='lbl']").text("hello");

Answer 3

<script src="jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
     $("#lbl").text('Hello');
    });
</script>
