You can change the node name by setting the tagName attribute Try this,
tag_ccc = dom2.getElementsByTagName("CCC")[0]
tag_ccc.tagName = "XXX"
This should change the tag name to "XXX", below is the test code i used to confirm this using python 2.7
from xml.dom.minidom import parse, parseString
xml ="""<CCC><BBB>This is test</BBB></CCC>"""
dom = parseString(xml)
tag_ccc = dom.getElementsByTagName("CCC")[0]
tag_ccc.tagName = "XXX"
print tag_ccc.toxml("utf-8")
Hope this helped.

You can change the element name by modifying the tagName of the node. For instance:
root = dom.getElementsByTagName('CCC')[0]
root.tagName = 'XXX'
You get:
<XXX>
<BBB>This is test</BBB>
</XXX>
The documentation is available here.
