In Windows 7 you could do it but the option seems to be hidden or gone in Windows 8.
In Windows 7 you opened "Network and Sharing Center" and then clicked the icon, here it would then let you change the name and icon. - The icon is gone in Windows 8.
*Please note I'm trying to rename the network itselt, not the network connection / adapter.
At the moment it is listed as "Network 3" which isn't particularly helpful for identifying the network. - Windows 7 on the same network seems to identify it by the router name.
