<span id="change">
Stuff In Here
</span>
<script>
$("#change").on("mouseover", function () {
$('#change').text("This is the new html");
});
</script>
The following doesn't work, as a jQuery noob, I'm not sure why.

Change this:
<script>
$("#change").on("mouseover", function () {
$('#change').text("This is the new html");
});
</script>
Because you are not referencing anything. Try this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#change").mouseover(function () {
$('#change').text("This is the new html");
});
});
</script>
Well, there was another error in the fiddle. You had not selected any jQuery version in the upper left corner. After updating, the code worked perfectly, and from this I concluded that you might have not linked the script in your website.
Try linking the script
file in the head
section of your layout (website)
Here have a look now: http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/HMhVn/3/
I have updated it, and it runs perfectly now :)

If you want, for more flexibility, you can cache the original string to access later by putting the text in a variable before you decide what do to on mouseover.
HTML:
<span id="change">
Stuff In Here
</span>
JQuery:
$(document).ready()
{
$("#change").hover(
function() // on mouseover
{
$(this).text("This is the new html");
},
function() // on mouseout
{
$(this).text("Stuff In Here");
});
};
This allows you to change it permanently or not, it's up to do. Personally, I'd code it for flexibility.
