ItemDataBound text modification question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've got a repeater that's bound to a datareader and I'd like to
conditionally modify the text that is being outputted. Previously, I've done
this by assigning a name to attribute to the surrounding tablecell in which
the <%# %> tags reside and I could use the findcontrol to grab a handle to
the control by name and do any necessary modifications. I'm wondering if I
can get around this? Is it necessary to assign a name to a surrounding cell?
What if I'm not using a table? I tried to use e.item.controls(0), but this
does not seem to correspond with all available controls that get databound (I
guess it excludes non web-server controls like simple client side tables),
but there seems to be only one element of type "DataBoundLiteralControl." I
was guessing that this represented the text that was between the databinding
tags, and hoped that I could modify the text property to add some text in,
but it's a read only property. To sum it up, two questions:

1, what is the DataBoundLiteralControl actually used for? What does it
represent?

2, Is there a way to do what I'd like to do? To modify the text that is
bound, without using findcontrol? (The control has no name, it's just the
contents of the <%# %> tags.

Thanks...
