1.) Can this be done ? In case we have more attractive Shots we want on a custom loading / SCP splash screen...

2.) What's the easiest way to change the pilot's names without affecting their data ?

1/ You simply need to add a few picture files with the right names to a folder that is higher priority than the VPs themselves. (i.e mediavps\Data). 2_PreLoad.tga/pcx will replace the high res one and PreLoad.tga/pcx will replace the low res ones.

2/ AFAIK renaming the PL2 and CS2 files is enough. Renaming their equivalents certainly was enough in Retail.

I had asked a similar question in this thread and was blessed with a bit of coding script that allows you to put in a bunch of Preload.tga files and have them randomly chosen at startup. It's neeeeeaaaaato.
