Well, you can replace the LilyPond syntax for any note with the command

Command: Replace LilyPond
Suppresses the normal LilyPond typetting for the current
note/chord/rest replacing it with syntax provided by user.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Notes/Rests
Internal Name: ReplaceChord

but I don't think this would help, since I guess what you want is for
the notation to be one note (B-sharp) and the Chord Names another (C-
natural), which since you have them sharing the same music is not
possible. 

So you would have to make the music in the Chord Names staff a copy of
the music in the notation staff and then you can just edit the note
from B-sharp to C-natural. 
This is not a big deal: you can copy all the music from one staff to
the one below in just six keystrokes:

(d-MoveToEnd)
(d-SetMark)
(d-GoToBeginning)
(d-Copy)
(d-MoveToStaffDown)
(d-Paste)

Which could be a command all to itself...
