A:
text = text.replace(/h/g, "*").replace(/l/g, "-");
In answer to you comment below
* is a special character in a Reqular Expression pattern, you need to escape it using a backslash (\) character. So it would be
replace(/\*/g, 'o')

we can't do it in a single replace call...?

You want to match two different strings and replace them with two different strings. I don't see how you could do that in one replace call
