            } catch (RemoteException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (OperationApplicationException e) {

You can add another ops.add in your code and insert the following code.

ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
                    .newUpdate(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
                    .withSelection(Data.DATA1 + "=?", new String[] {get_name})
                    .withValue(
                            StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME,
                            new_name)
                    .build());

Reffer to this link it will explain how ContactContract works

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/contacts-provider.html

Each field (email, name, address) has its on mime type, which you should use in order to update the field.

lets try to update the email for instance.

First, you should find the detail you want to update. we will work with Data table, where each Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID represents a detail about some contact.

So, we need to find the Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID where the id is the id of the contact you want to edit.

Now we need to find the mime-type (the specific row which represents the detail) of email (Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE).

The data of an email is stored in the column Email.DATA - there we put the new email. Then we build a query and finally apply the change.
