In answer to the specific question the following code should help you out.
Code:
String blah = new String ("help me");
blah = blah.replace (' ', '-');
To clear up an obvious problem related to this please note that -
Code:
String blah = new String ("help me");
blah.replace (' ', '-');
does not work since strings are immutable, ie cannot be changed. So you can set a string equal to the return value of a function but cannot directly change a string via one of its methods. If you don't get this give it a try and see what happens.
And for more general help, queries like this are best directed to the java api
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/
which will answer so many questions for you and to get anywhere with java you will have to get used to trawling through this lovely document  .
Hope this helps,
