I found what I need:
// get the document object.
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
// get the buffer
$buffer = $doc->getBuffer('component');
// your string to insert
$insert_string = "<p>I've been inserted</p>";
// insert the string
$buffer = $insert_string . $buffer;
// reset the buffer
$doc->setBuffer($buffer, 'component');
If you want to modify the contents of the webpage then you should be making a "content" plugin as opposed to a "system" plugin.
A good place to start is by looking at the emailcloak
plugin that ships with Joomla! 1.6+ (note that the plugin interface is quite different for Joomla! 1.5 versus the current 1.6/7/2.5 era plugins). If you're working with 1.5 then have a look the example
plugin that ships with it.
