You can't do this with fields. You will have to create another initial field
in your data file. This is easy enough to do in (eg) Excel.

Hi all,
I have a mail merge question, does anyone of you sage beings know how
I can truncate Firstname (MERGEFIELD Lead_PersonFirstname) to its
first initial?
I.e. instead of showing Mark Ryan, showing M Ryan instead?
Many thanks for your help!
