Tipp-Ex is [was] your friend. First in a pot with a little brush on a stem, then later on paper strips -- you'd backspace over the typo, insert a sheet of Tipp-Ex paper between the ribbon and the page, and hit the same letter again. Which would mash a bunch of white paint over it, upon which you could then type the correct character.
