Found it.
The tool you want is Exiftool by Phil Harvey.
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
You do have to do this from the command prompt but its not hard to set up.
Even I managed it .
One of the threads discussing this on the L Camera Forum here:
http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/digital-post-processing-forum/135236-changing-lens-info-exif.html
Do remember that this will not work with DNGs already imported with Adobe
apps. You need originals (using copies is good practice of course).

Cheers,
Geoff
