1. To change the default “Uncategorized” using code you can do the following:

   // Uncategorized ID is always 1
   wp_update_term(1, 'category', array(
     'name' => 'hello',
     'slug' => 'hello', 
     'description' => 'hi'
   ));

2. In wp-admin, you can rename the Uncategorized category any time. Just go to Posts > Categories and do it. 🙂

   In case you forgot to assign a post to any category WordPress will add that post to Uncategorized by default. That’s why a default category is must.

   To change a default category go to Settings > Writing.

   Then choose the Default category whatever you want; but you have to add a new category from the Categories page first. Enjoy WordPress.
