You can directly change /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Entry name is the first
parameter after "menuentry" :

menuentry 'here the name' --class debian ...

But it will be erased if you update-grub.
Alternatively you can add full menuentry blocks in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
and you will retrieve them in you grub menu even after update-grub.
