I guess you mean the "Options" text in softkeys/cba in S60, which is added
automatically to launch QMainWindow menubar? If yes then your alternatives
are as follows:

1. Iterate through main window actions, and change the text of "Options"
action as follows:

    foreach (QAction *action, actions()) {
        if (action->text() == tr("Options"))
            action->setText("Anything!");
    }

2. Provide application specific translation to "Options" softkey.
Translation source (.ts) file would be something like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE TS>
    <TS version="2.0" language="uk_UA">
    <context>
        <name>QSoftKeyManager</name>
        <message>
            <location filename="../src/gui/kernel/qsoftkeymanager.cpp"
line="+72"/>
            <source>Options</source>
            <translation>MyOwnText</translation>
        </message>
    </context>
    </TS>

In addition you of course need to install the translator for application.

3. Provide your own left softkey and associate QMenu to something like this
(In this case QMainWindow menubar is not used):

    menu = new QMenu(this);
    menu->addAction(tr("Menu item 1"), this, SLOT(menuItemTriggered()));
    ok = new QAction("MyMenu", this); // <-- "MyMenu goes to left softkey"
    ok->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::PositiveSoftKey);
    ok->setMenu(menu);
    addAction(ok);
