Yes, you can change the name of the plugin but keep in mind future updates will not work.

Here is the plugin directory structure

yoursite\wp-content\plugins\ [editing-plugin-folder]

open the folder you will find a .php file in there, edit the file using any editor. you can change the name of the plugin in commented area

/*
Plugin Name: Name according to you
Plugin URI:

*/

save the file refresh your wp-admin dashboard and there you go .
