Get OSx86 Tools Utility from http://pcwizcomputer.com/osx86tools/, and use the "Modify About this Mac" button.

you can do it by runing "sudo vim /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.strings" and changing ""ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";" to "ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "1.6 GHz Intel Atom"; ot whatever you want. It's easier that the above answers if you are familiar whit VIM.
