yes, you can do that, but if you want an example you have to tell us what '#myId' is. — 11684

You forgot to close you document ready, last line should be }); vs }. — Zachary

jQuery actually provides a way for you to do that:

$("#myId").trigger("change");

Or you could chain it only the code you already have to call it immediately:

$("#myId").on("change", function(){
  regularJSfunc( 'data1', 'data2' );
}).trigger("change");

Using trigger call this function immediately on load script. So better use triggerHandler:

$('#myId').bind('change', function(){
    regularJSfunc( 'data1', 'data2' );
});

$('#myId').triggerHandler('change'); //call function
