Sanjay,
The default .bashrc has a commented out function "settitle()". Just uncomment that line, restart bash, and you'll be able to run "settitle Your Title" (no quotes necessary). The function works for the console window, xterm, and rxvt.
If your .bashrc doesn't have that function, look in /etc/skel/.bashrc, or search this list for "settitle". Note the control characters.

Igor,
Where do the contents of /etc/skel originate? I install everything available via Setup.exe, and my /etc/skel contains only ".bash_profile" which contains only this:
-==- # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash for login shells.
if [ -e /etc/bash.bashrc ] ; then source /etc/bash.bashrc fi
if [ -e ~/.bashrc ] ; then source ~/.bashrc fi -==-
/etc/bash.bashrc contains only a comment and two blank lines.
