Use translate
Example:
<xsl:variable name="text" select="'STATUS'"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="translate($text,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqr
stuvwxyz')"/>

This will change 'STATUS' into 'status'

To change 'status' to 'STATUS' just switch the 2º argument with the 3º
<xsl:variable name="text" select="'status'"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="translate($text,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR
STUVWXYZ')"/>

To get your output, i. e., to change 'STATUS' into 'Status' you'll need
to use both transformations

<xsl:variable name="text" select="'STATUS'"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat(translate(substring($text,1,1),'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
z','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'),translate(substring($text,2),'ABCDEFGHI
JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'))"/>
