You can replace text by setting the properties SelectionStart and SelectionLength then replacinig the selected text by assigning the replacement string to SelectedText. If you set SelectionLength to 0 then the text is inserted at the given point. For example, to insert a string at position 20, do

RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = 20
RichTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "inserted string"
