I first tried to mess with JavaScript cased changing -- using the built-in string function toUppercase. Then I remembered ID has a user interface function for title case, and wondered if it was the same in JS. And yes, it was -- Uppercase, Title Case, Sentence Case and Lowercase, appliable to Text, Paragraph, Characters (which is what you'd need) ... and Word. So I don't even have to extract individual characters.
There are no built-in fuctions to automatically add a character style to the first character of certain words.

If the requirements ever change -- adding color, or a font or something to the first character --, then you'd have to work around and add stuff 'manually'. I guess that's what you have in mind.
