Yes.

Unren + text editor + KNOWLEDGE (the python kind)

It's not editing the name, it's changing words, that happen to be names, that can possibly appear in all dialogs, as well as menu and screens.

There's other solution than the one gave by tanstaalf, but they need even more knowledge since it imply to code a small mod for the game.

    $ player_name = renpy.input("The number of characters is 12", length=12)
    $ player_name = player_name.strip() # remove space
    if player_name == "":
        $ player_name="Default Name"
    author "author: Pleased to meet you, %(player_name)s!"

It's not what OP is asking.

How to let players define the name of a character in the game you are making will not help him, because what he want is to change the way the MC address another character in a game that he's playing.

But, as I said, this is part of the dialog. Like there's no naming system implemented in the game, there's also 99,99% chance that there's no [charSayer] in the dialogs. Therefore the only way to do is to write a small mod for this.
