Hi
I may be wrong about this, but the elliptic integral (functions)
have no closed form solution, as a result the idea of using t as a 
explicit variable may not work here.

I have tried using Table where I change the values of t using the 
iterator, Anyway here is my attempt, actually you can control the number 
of iteration in order to get a smoother plot by changing n (see below). 
Also I have used Mathematica syntax for the function
as
JacobiSN[u,m] instead of JacobiSN[t,mu^2], I think that is the reason 
why I get values that are squared of what you have

Here is the code
Clear[F, t, m, sol1]
n = 2
sol1 = Table[First[FindRoot[Sqrt[m]*JacobiSN[u, m] ==1, {m, 1, 1.5}, 
MaxIterations -> 100]], {u, Ï?/4, Ï?, Ï?/(n*12)}]
l = Length[sol1]
m1 = Range[Ï?/4, Ï?, Ï?/(n*12)] // N
dat = Table[{m1[[s]], m /. sol1[[s]]}, {s, 1, l}]
ListPlot[dat, PlotJoined -> True]


Hope this helps
