Answer 1

Yes, just use a metamodel for the field:

[MetadataType(typeof(YourMetaData))]
public partial class YOURCLASS
{
    [Bind(Exclude = "objID")]
    public class YourMetaData
    {
        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false, ErrorMessage = "Please enter a name")]
        public object Name { get; set; }
    }
}

Change your message at the ErrorMessage field :) Hope this help :)
