You can create new roles using the command add_role.

add_role( 'custom_role', 'Custom Subscriber', array( 'read' => true, 'level_0' => true ) );

To modify an existing role you would need to remove it first and then add it back in.

 remove_role( 'custom_role' );
 add_role( 'custom_role', 'Custom Subscriber', array( 'read' => true, 'level_0' => true ) );

Be aware that modifying the capabilities array and re-executing add_role() will not necessarily update the role with the new capabilities list. The add_role() function short-circuits if the role already exists in the database.
