Replace text inside a gridview/detailview with different text.

I have a field inside a gridview/detailsview that pulls data from a database. That field is a bound field.

I want to replace the original text inside that field with text that's been parsed out of the original text.

Example:
My Field
----------
blah blah blah NOVEMBER blah blah

then, replace original text with just NOVEMBER
My Field
---------
NOVEMBER

I do already have a function that can parse out NOVEMBER; I don't know how to tell my gridview/detailsview to run that function.
public string ParseForField(string TextString, string TargetField)
		{
			string[] Fields = TextString.Split(';');
			foreach(string Field in Fields)
			{
				if (Field.Contains(TargetField))
				{
					return Field.Trim();
				}
			}
			return "No field by that name.";
		}
