Answer 1

The wrap method is what you need. (http://api.jquery.com/wrap/)

$('.celak').wrap('<div class="cleak-parent"></div>');

Answer 2

If your div does not exist at all you might use the wrap method:

$("p.celak").wrap("<div class='celak-parent'/>");

If your div does exist you can easily target and modify it with the parent method:

$("p.celak").parent().addClass('celak-parent');
