1: change the name to something relevant...
2: you can use many editors depending on the level of coding you know... if you are decent to advanced then you could prob do it in notepad++, just making a copy of the file before you do it and lastly
3: if your android device doesn't allow for something to be played there is usually good reason for it, like the fact that it does not have the system requirements (this goes especially if you are checking through android's google play store)

I just downloaded an app called ES File explorer which allows me to edit the build.prop.
I can now see the system build.prop in a text format, but I have no idea what I should change the model, product name to etc.
I think my phone SHOULD be able to run the games, but I don't know why. The version of my phone is higher than the game's one.
I'll change the title then :3
Oh, and if I copy the build.prop file to the SD card for example, should I just delete the build.prop file I just edited if something went wrong? and paste the one from SD card back to system?

just a warning, because your version of phone is better doesnt mean that you can use it on that version. perfect example is zork (old text based .bat game). it will work on XP systems but not on windows 7 as the way cmd works has been changed
and if you need to change any information so it thinks it is a different phone i would strongly suggest against it and just run a separate OS on your phone... will be much better for you in the long run

I personally use this thread, always worked for me. Make sure to backup your original build.prop (pretty sure it tells you how to do that on the link :) )
Modify build.prop to look like a Nexus S or Droid 3 for more market access
