You can.

Go to Admin -> Field Management -> Click on the field -> click on the name of the field in the center canvas then edit. For custom fields, t
he only requirement is that the field is NOT used by any assets in Marketo for you to be able to rename them.

Like Adam said, they can be renamed, but you'll have to make sure that they aren't in use anywhere -- which can be a very cumbersome task, depending on how much you've used the field!

It makes no sense to me that we can't rename the friendly name when the field is in use.

I don't understand this at all.

In some cases the then-current friendly name has been "burned" into an asset for faster retrieval.  So the asset is known to have a dependency on the field, but it can't automatically update.
