var content = $('p').html();
Ah dammit, too late.
If you want a specific paragraph you should give it an id and use:
var content = $('p#id').html();
instead.

How to do the reverse process? Assign again the var content contents to p. For example you needed to do a backup of p, modify it and recover the previous value.
var a = "<p>hello</p>";
