set some_string "Name/is/ComplexSTRUCTUre"

convert this string to,

some_string = "Name/is/ComplexSTR.CTUre"

i.e replacing first "U" to "."

Answer

Try This,

set replaced_string [regsub "U" $some_string "."]
puts $replaced_string

Another Option,

set pos [string first "U" $some_string]
set replaced_string [string replace $some_string $pos $pos "."]
puts $replaced_string

Here your "Name/is" portion should not contain any "U"
