Can Content Editor containing javascript control Ribbon Functionality like setting the Filter?

Hi,

I would like to try and set the Filter field in 'PS 2013 > PWA > Tasks' to default to the "Custom Filter..." option with the

following setting:

• Field Name = "Resource Name"
  Test = "does not equal"
  Value = the user who is logged in (I am wondering how I will be able to get this)

Can I achieve this by adding a "Content Editor" web part to the Tasks page, and use javascript to accomplish this?

This is the first time I am attempting javascript on my own.  So the following code is just my attempt to try and hack my way at reaching the Filter feature, but I have had no luck so far after trying to find info on the web.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/PWA/SiteAssets/jquery-1.8.3.min[1].js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("Ribbon.ContextualTabs.MyWork.Home.Data.FilterDropdown").val("Overdue Tasks");
});
</script>

ps.  I found some code that I have model this script from it had suggested I download this file (jquery-1.8.3.min[1].js), which I did.  Don't really know if I need it.
