There are two flaws with what you're saying. Milestone, priority, and
component values certainly need not be changed directly through the
DB, and in fact that is not a good idea (especially if you already
have tickets using the old fields). All of these can and should be
changed through the admin interface.
The second flaw is that this isn't what the OP is asking. The OP is
asking how to filter out certain fields, and how to change the labels
of some fields. As they said, the best way to do this is with an
IRequestFilter plugin. The black magic ticket plugin may be able to
do some of this too (it just uses IRequestFilter to modify tickets in
a general manner).
