I'm going to assume that you are not trying to change the names in the calibre library but rather when sent to your ereader.

I don't have a cervantes ereader but the plugin supports a Save template.

One friend of mine uses the following template for save to disk.
Code:
{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title}/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)} - {series:| |}{series_index:0>5.2f| | - }{title}
This creates a directory from the first entry in the author sort, a subdirectory from the book title and then the ebook file with the name as first entry in the author sort, series if present, title.

A couple of examples of the output:

Code:
Piper, H. Beam
		Little Fuzzy
			Piper, H. Beam - Little Fuzzy.epub
		Space Viking
			Piper, H. Beam - Space Viking
Flint, Eric
		An Oblique Approach
			Flint, Eric - Belisarius 01.00 - An Oblique Approach.epup
		Portal
			Flint, Eric - Boundary 03.00 - Portal.epub
The reason for the limit to 1 for the author is simply that I ran into issues with several anthologies where every flipping author was listed and calibre truncated to fit the name length limit.
