That is, can python code replace, for example, a single letter in a Text Object or insert a letter or string into a Text Object. 

Note that I'm not talking about replacing a Text Object with some updated string, such as, object.text = "new string"object.text = "new string". I'm thinking more about having access to the Text cursor ( notnot the mouse cursor  ) and positioning it on some letter that I'd like to replace. 

In other words, I'd like to have the same capability during BGE play that I have when altering a Text Object in the edit mode.
