How would you change the application name such as com.android.mms to com.android.messaging

ummm, why? by changing the name you would usually have to change a bunch of other settings in the phone, along with reinstalling that app. especially changing a core app, like the MMS, a lot of other apps, and the android system refer to that, so changing the name could cause a bunch of undesired problems.

Ok no so I want to change the name of the.vanilla mms app so I can install it without root on my 2.1 leak

probably wont work the way you're looking for. just hold out for root or OTA but poking around changing system file names is not the way to ease frustration with your phone.
