If you mean edit the description of recordings, you can almost do that...

You can edit the title and subtitle (episode title) from Watch 
Recordings.  Hit MENU (once or twice) to get Recording Options, then 
Edit Recording Title (I think that's what it's called).

I have a patch to add the description to the dialog, but it's unusable 
without the multi-line text edit, so I'm waiting for that to be complete 
before I put it in.

Eventually, I plan to make it possible to edit all user-editable 
recording data through the Recording Details screen (but, again, doing 
so requires the multi-line text edit that we don't yet have).
