This "edit in cell" command doesn't appear in any of Excel's menus, nor does it appear in the list of all commands in the keyboard shortcuts section of Excel's customization dialog. I much prefer the simplicity of F2 over Control-U, however, it doesn't seem possible to customize this shortcut. On a PC, you can edit the current cell's contents by pressing F2 on a Mac, it's Control-U (F2 copies the cell's contents). However, there's an undocumented but often-used keyboard shortcut that seems immune to these solutions - the keyboard shortcut for "edit in cell." To make switching back and forth more seamless, you can use Excel's ability (or the system's) to remap keyboard shortcuts on the Mac to match those on the PC (or vice versa, of course). If you switch between Excel for the PC and Excel on the Mac (either 2004 or 2008), you probably know that there are many differences in the keyboard shortcuts between the two platforms.
