First of all I doubt that it is smart to rename things mainly because 
the backend won't resemble the situation in tutorials anymore. Also, if 
you ask for help for an item on the "Background" tab nobody will 
recognize that.

But to answer your questions:

- changing labels in TYPO3 CMS:

This is all explained in an article by Xavier Perseguers [1]. While it 
mentions "Translation Files", this also applies to the default, English 
labels.

- hiding fields

In TSconfig you can disable fields in the forms [2]. If you're not sure 
about the name of a field you can found out in the HTML of the backend 
interface.
If you disable all fields in a tab the tab will automatically be hidden.
