There are lots of ways to approach the problem you asked about, but are you 100% certain you want to change the title of the books in the Calibre database? Can't you just change the filename saved out via either Send to Device or Save to Disk? That's the preferred way to do this, and keeps your database correct for when you change readers. Have you looked at the Save to Device templates in Preferences | Add/Save | Send tab and in the Plugin for your e-reader? If neither of those will do it, what about sending to it as a USB disk - does your device support that?

If none of those will do it, then there are some bulk metadata options you can consider.
