You can grab the tAIN=1000 resource and modify it, but...
1. As with any modification of an app, you should be prepared for it
to fail, because the app might be in flashable ROM.
2. In the future, the app might be running as a copy in the storage
heap (dynamically loaded from "someplace else"), and thus your name
change won't stick.
3. If somebody has created an overlay for you app, then depending on
how you determine the resource file to modify, you might wind up
modifying the name in the overlay or the name in the base (your app),
but not in both places.
