Build.prop is a file which is located in /system of your android. Its quite amazing that how much importance this single file holds. You can do many things with this file to enhance the useabiltiy of your device as per your need. I edit this file to change my phone model no. (Huawei Ideos X5) to (HTC Desire HD). By doing this i can download those stuff from android market (mostly games) which is meant for HTC Desire HD but can be now be used with Ideos X5 as we have enhanced its performance but rooting and customizing it.
So the questions gets to "How do we edit it". You can search this all over the internet an you may find a common technique of using Root Explorer, an app for 200 odd bucks to edit the build.prop file. However I am not in the favor of paying for an app for just a few second job, so i started searching other methods to edit it. In my search I came across the use of ADB (android debug bridge) which is a part of part of the standard Android sdk (starter development kit). The process of getting installing ADB installed and using it to edit Build.prop isn't as easy as using root explorer but that what you then pay for. I learnt this technique by using all the permutations combinations from different posts and applying them, it took a while to get it correct but was totally worth it.
