Tell us what’s happening:
Your code so far
// Setup
var myStr = "Jello World";
// Only change code below this line
myStr = "Hello World";
myStr[0] = "H"; // Fix Me

Nearly there. Try removing the // fix me
He means to remove that whole line that has “Fix Me” in it.
The point is that in javascript, strings cannot be modified. In a language like C, a statement like:
myStr[0] = 'H';
would be the right way to do it - you can actually change things in the string. (In C, a string is just an array of characters.)
But in JS, you have to replace the whole string - construct a new one and assign it.
I Think that’s a Bug
I have solved this and I hope it helps you
// Setup
var myStr = "Jello World";
// Only change code below this line
myStr = "Hello World";
Bug where? C#, Java, C, C++, JavaScript etc. Be more specific.
