I though "Cat in the Hat" was the proper title text in English,
and "Cat In The Hat" is what you get when you use a computer?

SQL Server is not strong on text maninpulation. You would have to loop
over the string, either one by one, or possibly piece by piece with
charindex(). There is no built-in for this.

I would encourage you to look at Functions->String Functions in the
T-SQL References in Books Online. There you can learn about all functions
to manipulate strings in T-SQL.
