Not sure what your goal is here but the easiest (and most efficient) way
to get the first character of a string is :
$string = 'abcdef';
print $string{0}; // prints a
print $string{3}; // prints d
So in your case, maybe the following craziness is what you're wanting :
${$string{0}} = 'crazy';
print $a; // prints crazy
