See this code snippet:

public string ReplaceTextBoxByLabel(string htmlContent) 
{
  HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
  doc.LoadHtml(htmlContent);

  foreach(HtmlNode tb in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//input[@type='text']"))
  {
    string value = tb.Attributes.Contains("value") ? tb.Attributes["value"].Value : " ";
    HtmlNode lbl = doc.CreateElement("span");
    lbl.InnerHtml = value;

    tb.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(lbl, tb);
  }

  return doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;
}
