Look at setting up a "Metadata plugboard" for your device in the settings. For example, I have this configured for my Nook STR:

Code:

epub:NOOK_COLOR = {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}

Basically, that means "for format epub, when sending to device NOOK_COLOR (the STR reports as NOOK_COLOR), name the book on the device as 'Series name - NN - Title of book", where the "Series name - NN - " part only happens if the book has a defined series. That means books end up in my Nook library as "A Song of Ice and Fire - 05 - A Dance with Dragons".

Edit for clarification: This happens when you send books to your device. It doesn't change how books are listed in calibre, and it definitely doesn't change anything about the file on disk. And of course you should never touch the files on disk themselves except through calibre, lest you break your library.

For more information, read the docs.
