All device pseudo-files, sr0 included, are named the way they are by
udev. For user's convenience, udev should also create symlinks
to /dev/sr0 named /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw and others.

The creation of such symlinks is controlled by this file:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

If you want to fix devices' names - you need to change it there.

The ability to burn CDs and DVDs does not depend in any way to the
contents of /etc/fstab. Fstab is only used for mounting CDs with an
existing filesystem.
