Understand the build number in Android

I recently bought a new android phone from market. I am having difficulty in understanding the build code of my phone. My build code is

TBW591331_8376_V3018

I searched the net but I haven't found any build number starting with TBW. Can anyone tell me what it mean and also how to change the build number.

I see from other forum :

First letter = release family, e.g. F is Froyo
Second letter = branch code that allows Google to identify the exact code branch that the build was made from, and R is by convention the primary release branch
Third letter and the two numbers = date code. The letter counts quarters, with A being Q1 2009. Therefore, F is Q2 2010. The two digits count days within the quarter, so F85 is June 24 2010.
Last letter = individual versions related to the same date code, sequentially starting with A; A is actually implicit and usually omitted for brevity.

you should not change the build number, it must be unique number, but you can if your device is rooted and installed custom rom that has it own build number.
