You don't.
If you want to change name for display purposes, look into nsswitch.conf and
associated documentation.
Cygwin do not invent its own users/groups/ids/guids. It maps Windows
permissions to some POSIX equivalent, but internally it still using native
permissions.

Seems like it did not recognize the group name. At least that's how it react
here.

It should, but I strongly suggest to avoid using it outside Cygwin directory
tree to maintain maximum interoperability with Windows programs.

I just found out that if you configure cygdrive with noacl, getfacl tell
you to find better ways to express yourself. And setfacl will silently fail
(which is questionable behavior, TBH).

getent passwd
getent group

It should not.
