function convert(tuple) {
   var pairs = tuple.substring(1, tuple.length-1).split(/,\s?/);
   pairs[0] = parseFloat(pairs[0]);
   pairs[1] = parseFloat(pairs[1]);
   return [Math.abs(pairs[0]) + (pairs[0] >= 0 ? "N" : "S"),
           Math.abs(pairs[1]) + (pairs[1] >= 0 ? "E" : "W")].join(" , ");
}

var data = [27.19, -78.01];
var formatted = data[0] + ((data[0] > 0) ? 'N' : 'S') + ' , ' + 
                data[1] + ((data[1] > 0) ? 'E' : 'W');
alert(formatted);

Looks right, except that it looks like the question was about starting with a string '"(27.19, 78.01)"', so some parsing of the string would be required first?
