You can set the properties of your insertion point before inserting the text.

var ip = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item(0).insertionPoints.item(200);
ip.appliedCharacterStyle = "BigRed";
ip.contents = "Hello, world!";

You could even do it in one step:

app.activeDocument.textFrames.item(0).insertionPoints.item(100).properties = { appliedCharacterStyle : "BigRed", contents: "Hello, world!" };

Hth,
Dirk
