If you have another host, you can migrate all VMs to the other host, move current to maintenance, remove it, then add it with the new name you want. You might have to also clean up the shared meta-data, see:

from your response i understood that i was using the wrong terms for explaining my need. What i'm willing to change the fqdn of the engine vm running on hosted engine. I've seen that the deployment procedure asked for it, so i think somewhere this value is used for configurations.
