probably :

yourCombo.setSelectedIndex(0);
and :
((JComponent)yourCombo.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).requestFocus();
or
((JTextField)yourCombo.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).requestFocus();
or
((JTextField)yourCombo.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).setCaretPosition(0);
or
((JTextComponent)yourCombo.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).setCaretPosition(0);
