I have done it this way, but it fails when p > q 

How can I solve this ?

(defun cswap (wstr p q)
  "Replace characters in WSTR at positions P and Q."

  (let ( (char1 (elt wstr p))
         (char2 (elt wstr q)) )

    (if (and char1 char2)
        (concat (substring wstr 0 p)
                (char-to-string char2)
                (substring wstr (+ p 1) q)
                (char-to-string char1)
                (substring wstr (+ q 1)))) ))
