Wrap it in a jQuery object. 

var t = $('<foo><bar>something</bar></foo>');

//loop over 'bar' nodes
t.find('bar').each(function () {
    alert($(this).text());
});

And to convert it back to a string:

//then convert it back to a string
//for IE 
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
    var str = t.xml;
    alert(str);
 }
// code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.
else {
   var str = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(t);
   alert(str);
}
