            //first = ViewState["first"].ToString();

            Label1.Width = Unit.Parse(txtwidth.Text);
            Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(ddlMultiColor.SelectedValue);
            Label1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(ddlMultiColor1.SelectedValue);

Each character should be in a different inline element, such as span. Use individual CSS class attribute or even unique id attribute and learn how to use CSS:

http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/htmlcss#whatcss[^],
http://www.w3schools.com/css/[^],
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CSS[^].

In cannot be a usual input control. If you want this "individual-style" feature and editable behavior at the same time, use the attribute contenteditable:

Please see my past answer: How can i insert different letters with different color for each letter in textbox[^].
