Default how to edit what is said under "software version"

I'm still very new to cooking ROMS but I notice that many chefs have changed the software version to say whatever they want i.e "my custom rom 1" how can I do this?

Thanks,
Pympster

is this something that can only be modified while the rom is being created? I just wondered if you could make it show something simply by mounting the file system with read/write and editing the file after flashing the rom to a phone.

I think you can go into terminal and edit the build.prop manually through there. Otherwise you can just go into the update.zip and edit the build.prop there.
