You can change the text of the now playing label by calling the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter, this will also allow you to modify the song name, album, artist, and album artwork on the lock screen.

#import <MediaPlayer/MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.h>
#import <MediaPlayer/MPMediaItem.h>

MPMediaItemArtwork *albumArt;


- (void)changeTrackTitles
{
  Class playingInfoCenter = NSClassFromString(@"MPNowPlayingInfoCenter");

    if (playingInfoCenter) 
    {
        albumArt = [[MPMediaItemArtwork alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"HexagonArtwork"]];
        NSMutableDictionary *songInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
        [songInfo setObject:@"SongName" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
        [songInfo setObject:@"AlbumName" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle];
        [songInfo setObject:@"ArtistName" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtist];
        [songInfo setObject:albumArt forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
        [[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:songInfo];
    }
}
