translate($serviceName, 'S', '')

concat(
    substring($serviceName, 1, 1),
    substring($serviceName, 3)
    )

pardon my xsl... but hope it ll help

<xsl:variable name="frst" select="substring-before($serviceName,'S')" /> <xsl:variable name="after" select="substring-after($serviceName,'S')" /> <xsl:variable name=serviceName select="concat($frst,$after)" />

replace($serviceName, '^ZSMeter$', 'ZMeter') in case you're with XSLT 2.0.
