The simplest way is not to do it at all. Instead, create a new list:
vowels = 'aeiouy'
result = []
for char in vowels:
if char == 'e':
char = 'P'
result.append(char)
result = ''.join(result)
print(result)
Of course, in this specific case, even faster and simpler is this:
result = vowels.replace('e', 'P')
but that's specifically a string method and doesn't generalise to
lists of arbitrary objects.
