can you change the name of GameObject from script? Not the tag orlayer but the name of the object you would see from the Hierarchy Menu.

See Object.name.

name = "Another name";

or 

somethingElse.name = "Some other name";

name is a property of component, being that component inherits from Unity's Object, so you don't need the gameObject.

Sure, just set it's name property:

GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera").name="MyMainMain";
