    But your purpose is to replace the c with r, you can use the Replace function.. CString cstr = "abcd"; cstr.Replace( 'c','r');

      You rarely need to use GetBuffer().  The CString class has most functions you need, including SetAt()...

      CString cstr = _T("abcd");
          cstr.SetAt(2, _T('r'));

      If you insist on using GetBuffer(), remember: "If you use the pointer returned by GetBuffer to change the string contents, you must call ReleaseBuffer ..."

      CString cstr = _T("abcd");
          LPTSTR p = cstr.GetBuffer();
          p[2] = _T('r');
          cstr.ReleaseBuffer();

                    Actually it does, however it is optional:
