Answer 1

You can do this via direct registry edition.

Under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

you can see network profiles key (by it's uuid), and can change apropriate network ProfileName value.

Answer 2

@Yvette is right. I don't think you can change this property. This property is from and decided by system.

If it is a domain network profile, it will be your domain name, eg. example.com and domain name is decided by domain controller.

If it is a WiFi network profile, it will be the SSID name of WiFi equipment and SSID is decided by your WiFi equipment.
