Javascript is only recommended when you're on a visualforce page. If that is not the case you can use workflows or triggers to make changes to record names. Which implementation you pick may be different depending on the amount of filtering you want to do.

If you aren't sure how do to either, you probably want to start with going through the salesforce developer training videos or workbooks.

Hi Sdry, Thanks for your response. Can we replace the part of account name with workflow ltd-->limited,Corp-->Corporate, etc

Yes, you can either use a Workflow Rule with a Field Update that constructs the Name based on a Formula.

Or if that does not work, then you can construct the Name in a custom Apex Trigger as well.
