I'm not 100% sure it is changing what you want to change, but in winamp you can access file info and change what is there.
 
Try mp3tag.
 
You don't need any special software on Windows. Just right-click over the MP3 file and select Properties.

To save each field that you type into, you must move the cursor to another field (before closing the Window).

I can't remember if it's only for windows PC though.
