It is not very clear as to what is it that you are trying to achieve here. If you want to match similar terms as the one you specify in the query (test, tesk, lest etc), then a fuzzy query (~) should suffice. Note that you cannot specify a mandatory part of the text that has to match in every result returned by the query e.g. there is no way to specify that any hit returned by the query should match "te", and you are fine with different values for the remaining positions of the term.
If you want to search for mutations on specific locations, use wildcard queries. To answer your original question, you cannot use a wildcard character as the first character of a query.
