Mnemonics are created, AFAIK, in the code when the menu items are constructed. There are various ways this can be done, but I suspect it cannot be undone if you all you have is a ready to run application.
In GTK2, the simplest way to do this was to put an underscore in front of the desired letter that would act the mnemonic (e.g. "_File" when defining a "File" menu item). There are other ways too, and GTK3 may have changed quite a bit here.
