Right, you can't set a property like that.

Which output module are you using?

It's really a display issue, so modify it in the template.  Are you
using Template Toolkit for output?  Then use a filter:

   [% item.swishtitle | replace('foo', 'bar' ) %]

http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Filters.html#replace_search_replace_

Post back if you are using a TemplateDefault or HTML::Template, but in
both you want to modify it in the template.
