Here is the solution,

<div>
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var obj = document.getElementById("TextBox1");
    var newObj = document.createElement('input');
    newObj.setAttribute('type', 'password');
    newObj.setAttribute('id', obj.getAttribute('id'));
    newObj.setAttribute('name', obj.getAttribute('name'));
    obj.parentNode.replaceChild(newObj, obj);
    newObj.focus();
</script>

The basic idea is to create a new element with your desired textmode and replace the original with the new one.

Hope this helps.
cheers

I think if you change the TextMode property of a Textbox web control client side you will get a failed viewstate error on postback.

I would either create all three controls on the page and only display one at a time based on some user action.

or

Create plain html controls with no runat="server" on them and manipulate their attributes with jquery.
