Answer: 
Bind sortable's [`start`](http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#event-start) event:

```
$(function() {
    $( "#sortable" ).sortable({
        placeholder: "ui-state-highlight",
        start: function(event, ui) { 
          $("li.ui-state-highlight").text("your text");
        }
    });
    $( "#sortable" ).disableSelection();
});

```

[Fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/uJcB7/191/).
​
```
    $("li").click(function(){
            $(this).text("PLACE ON :" + place);
    });

```
