Starting from GTK 3.10 you can use gtk_window_set_titlebar

gtk_window_set_titlebar (GtkWindow *window, GtkWidget *titlebar) as you can see the only arguments you need are the window that you want to customise and the GtkWidget that will serve as the titlebar. GTK developers suggest to use GtkHeaderBar as it provides some features that you would expect from the titlebar like close window buttons out of the box but you are free to use any other GtkWidget.

Here is a working solution:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    GtkWidget *window;
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
    window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "UV with Y variable");
    gtk_widget_show_all(window);
    gtk_main();
    return 0;
}

You can't. The title bar is drawn by the window manager, not by GTK. You can tell the window manager to set the title using window.set_title(), and you can set an icon, which may or may not be displayed by the window manager, using window.set_icon(), window.set_icon_name(), or window.set_icon_from_file(). That's about it.
