No need to worry about case, Apex is not case sensitive. So it won't cause any error. — Rohit Mourya

str.replace('{!contact.Firstname}' , 'Ranjit') you need to use firstName not name — Tushar Sharma

First convert your string to lower cap with the below code

str = str.toLowerCase();

then replace the string

str.replace('{!contact.Firstname}' , 'Ranjit')
