Tough you should try CSS to set alignment but still jQuery does provide with attr function like:

$("th").attr("align","left");

Is it enough to set alignment on page load??

If grid is there on page load then it will be okay otherwise you will need to set it after grid is rendered. Also make the selector more specific so that it actually gets the th element in the grid header. If you are not able to fix it please post html of rendered grid header.
