You can use replaceWith.

$('.simpleCart_input').replaceWith(function(){

   return '<span class='+this.className+'>'+this.value+'</span>'

})

or:

$('.simpleCart_input').replaceWith(function(){

    return $('<span/>', {

              'class': this.className,

               text: this.value

           })

})
