There are two different answers, if the ball is not in play there is no penalty, and you can replace it. If the ball is in play there is a one shot penalty and you must replace the ball to it's original position, failure to do so results in a two shot penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in matchplay.
What determines if the ball is in play? The ball is in play once a stroke has been made hitting the ball, so essentially on each hole, once you've hit the ball off the teeing ground, the ball is in play.
be honest and mark it on your score
dont worry everybody does that every once in a while
As long as your ball ends up in bounds you play it like a normal obstacle

How many times can you tee a ball up?
You may only tee the ball up when you are on the teeing area, hitting a tee shot. This is usually once per hole for each hole. However, if you hit a ball out of bounds you must hit another shot from where you hit the previous shot from, so you may tee the ball up. Also, if you hit a tee shot and can't find the ball you must go back to the tee and you can again tee it up.
Are golf tee-markers a movable obstruction?

Can you tee up from a marker that is further away without penalty like a lady chooses to hit one time from the senior men's tee?

She would be disqualified if she teed off on the next hole without correcting her mistake. (That is, tee off from the proper tee, it will be her third shot)
