Try this,

$("#field_id_29").change(function(){
    var text = $(this).val();
    var regexp = /www-source/gi;
    if ( text.match(regexp) ){      
        text = text.replace(/www-source/g,"www");
        return $(this).val(text);
    }
    return false;
});

When the field changes we grab the value, compare if against a regular expression and if we have a match we replace the text and we are done, otherwise we just return.
