In general no...not easy to do any more.

Depends on how old your SIM card is and how old the firmware is on your
phone.

I own only Nokia phones so I can speak for them but I think the case holds
true for many of the T-Mobile branded phones that are being sold today.

In the last few years T-Mobile introduced SIM cards which contained EONS
technolgy.  Enhanced Operator Naming Service.  This forces the phone to
display any number of variations of "T-Mobile" or "TMO" etc.  The
overwriting of these operator logos for the most part is not possible
anymore unless you have an older T-Mobile or Voicestream SIM which was not
EONS.  

You can try over writing the logo with software or sending one via SMS but
chances are it will not work.

There are exceptions however.  I have been able to do it on my 3595, 6610
and 6590i by doing a few tricks involving activating the PIN request code
and EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) speech codec.  Even then it will occasionally
drop back to the T-Mobile default after a reboot or when roaming.
