Yes you can change your device name using setName(String name) of BluetoothAdapter type.Following is the sample code:

    private BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = null;
    bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();

    void ChangeDeviceName(){
                    Log.i(LOG, "localdevicename : "+bluetoothAdapter.getName()+" localdeviceAddress : "+bluetoothAdapter.getAddress());
                    bluetoothAdapter.setName("NewDeviceName");
                    Log.i(LOG, "localdevicename : "+bluetoothAdapter.getName()+" localdeviceAddress : "+bluetoothAdapter.getAddress());
                }
