Both can be accomplished by using a custom desktop-file for the application in question.

Adding such options in the "default" right-click menu won't happen since it uselessly clutters the interface in daily-use.

If reasonable then further special options regarding e.g. the appearance of specific items would be placed in a dedicated tab in the preferences dialog.

summary: - needed function to rename icon
+ Provide option to change display-name and icon of dock-items

I'm in agreement with Rico that this is outside the scope of Plank. There exists software like MenuLibre or Alacarte to edit .desktop files. However under normal usage, I shouldn't expect anyone should ever have to use these tools.
