I think Jake is probably right. You need to be setting up a rule that allows you to apply a title and style to the content you are displaying in a container, rather than trying to change the container itself.
A container is really only a "marker" on a page that allows you to apply a display rule to that section of the page. Its the rule that actually does the displaying, the container only identifies a position in a page. You need a rule that allows you to select a style that is already in the system and apply a title to the display of the other content. It might be worth taking a look at the handpickedrule as a basis of your own rule, if you need to be able to apply a title and style to multiple content types.
