You could simply stop the container, do modifications (e.g. edit
/var/lib/lxc/c1/config), and start it afterwards. Even renaming the
containter is usually as simple as moving /var/lib/lxc/c2 ->
/var/lib/lxc/c2 and checking some files under that (e.g config, fstab).

In fact, I create most of my containers by hand, by creating
/var/lib/lxc/container_name directory and copying everything under it from
a template (e.g. using "zfs clone") with minor modifications.

Or is there some other modification that you have in mind?
