One way I read this (not sure if this is what you meant, if so, skip down to
the bottom): Very possible, and very easy. Sounds a bit too much like a
homework question for me to give you complete help ;), however -

Look up raw_input.

>>> a_variable = raw_input('Is this a question?')
Is this a question?Yes
>>> print a_variable
Yes

Make a program, or attempt to, and post back here with any questions.


Of course, if you mean *completely in-place replace* the question, then you
will need something like ncurses (if on Linux)  -

If on Windows, have a look at - http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm

HTH.
