As already said, you'd need JavaScript. [1]

However, please don't subject your visitors to that sillyness. A problem
results on pages that take awhile to load, or for people with slow
connections. The page begins loading ... visitor sees first field ...
clicks in it ... types ... tabs to second field ... page is still
loading ... types ... page finally finishes loading ... THEN your
JavaScript finally fires and moves the cursor back to the first field,
infuriating the visitor.

[1] Your google must be broken. The very first result for googling:
move cursor to first web form field
gives you the answer, with an example (note how it fails if JavaScript
is disabled). But, hey, then you wouldn't have learned you shouldn't do
it in the first place.
