If the text is still editable (and you have the same font installed), and not outlines, you should be able to just click on it with the text tool. And you will see a flashing cursor inserted and ready for you to edit the text.

However, if the text is outlines, then there's no way to turn it back into editable text. You will need to delete the text, and retype new text.
