Go to the 'export_descr_unit' folder in your data folder. Find the unit you want to change, and then edit the appropiate stats. At the top of the 'export_descr_unit' is a description of what each line does.

Numbers in red are attack and charge value, higher is better
numbers in blue are armour values higher is better
number in green influences morale higher is better,
don't go over the top compare to other units before adjusting!

and the bit at the top of the file really should make sense if you read it carefully and compare statistics of existing units.

You can change apparent, in game, faction name by editing data/text/expanded.txt or expanded_bi.txt if you've installed BI (regardless of which game you're playing!) you just change
{SCYTHIA} Scythia
into
{SCYTHIA} Huns
note that has no effect on which units etc are recruited by Scythia its only a naming thing - to change units etc you have to add them individually into EDU / EDB /descr_strat etc.....
