You will have to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux if you do not want your 
changes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be overwritten on every run of
update-grub.

Alternatively, you can edit the line 

  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

in /etc/default/grub to something like 

  GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Foo Bar"

That will result in a menu entry that looks like 

        Foo Bar GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686

But you could have found that out by yourself by simply reading 
/etc/grub.d/10_linux.
