chrome.tabs.query({'active': true, 'windowId': chrome.windows.WINDOW_ID_CURRENT},
   function(tab){
      chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id,{code:"document.title = 'My lame title!'"});
   }
);

The above will change the title of the currently selected tab. If you allready know the id of the tab you want to change, then its.... 

chrome.tabs.executeScript(tabId,{code:"document.title = 'My lame title!'"});

..where tabId contains the tab.id of the tab that you want to change.

The title isn't a property of the tab, but of the page inside the tab. Adjusting a page's title, however, is certainly possible: one mechanism would be to inject a content script that effected document.title:

document.title = "My awesome title!"

For details, take a look at the content script documentation: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/content_scripts.html
