Hi Parveen
Go to the following website and download/install the

Hello Parveen,
You can use bcdedit to do this.
open an elevated cmd prompt
Run bcdedit /enum to get a list of the entries
you need the identifier field from the BCD output
Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {9bedea43-4c96-11de-9967-000a3a5082f7}device
partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description win7
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
recoverysequence {9bedea41-4c96-11de-9967-000a3a5082f7}recoveryenabled
Yes
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {b4ffdfa3-ae09-11de-a594-806e6f6e6963}
nx OptIn
pae ForceEnable
usefirmwarepcisettings No
Then run
bcdedit /set {9bedea43-4c96-11de-9967-000a3a5082f7} description "Darrell Gorter"
This changes the boot entry to Darrell Gorter
