  You can't. That is part of the protected system area that users cannot modify for security reasons. If you want to be able to change that, you would need to root your phone. Be careful as this process might cause the phone to be unusable and voids the warranty since you are changing system files.

    @ theartiszan - thank you for your reply. If anyone has had success in rooting this phone and would like to share how it was done, please let me know.  I've seen methods for other LGs, but not this one and I don't have that much time for experimentation.  Thank you!
