    <p> Some text.. </p>


$('p').dblclick(function(){
    var textArea = $('<textarea />')
    var oldText = $(this).text();

    $(this).replaceWith(textArea);
    textArea.val(oldText);
});​

    See example here.

    On focusout, you can read the new value (or old) and set it back within a p tag.

    See that example here
