I thinks you want

$('#object_id:after').css({
  color: blue
});

Your question seems a little vague. You can change the css properties of anything in the DOM by using the css() method, like so:

$('#my-thing').css({
  fontSize: 10em,
  width: 100px
});

If you're asking about getting something with the :after pseudoclass, refer to this answered quesion

Hope this helps you!

Thanks. So, it seems there is no way to manipulate the elements created in CSS using :after. – z-x Apr 01 '11 at 16:06
@z-x unfortunately, no it doesn't seem like this is possible at this time. But you still haven't done a good job of explaining exactly what you want to do. – Groovetrain Apr 01 '11 at 17:41
