 Ensure all latest changes are in the recent backup file
(bash)  tmsh save sys config

 Modify the backup file
(bash)  vi /config/bigip.conf
(vi)  :%s/STATEMENTS-PROD-80/STATEMENTS-DTCPROD-80
(vi)  :wq

 Load in the modified config from the backup file
(bash)  tmsh load sys config

I give no guarantees, but I've done this during peak business hours without a negative consequence.

Caution: does this exact name pattern exist in other objects, other than the LTM Pool names? Issue a grep command on the bigip.conf backup file before you start.
