Modify the HtmlTitle and the Description properties.
Save your changes.

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class ModifyPages_ModifyPageNativeAPI
    {
        public void ModifyPageNativeAPI(string pageTitle, string htmlTitle, string description)
        {
            PageManager pageManager = PageManager.GetManager();

            PageData page = pageManager.GetPageDataList()
                .Where(pD => (pD.NavigationNode.Title == pageTitle && pD.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live))
                .FirstOrDefault();

            if (page != null)
            {
                page.HtmlTitle = htmlTitle;
                page.Description = description;
                pageManager.SaveChanges();
            }
        }
    }
}

                .Pages()
                .Where(pN => (pN.Title == pageTitle && pN.GetPageData().Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live))
                .ForEach(pN =>
                {
                    pN.GetPageData().HtmlTitle = htmlTitle;
                    pN.GetPageData().Description = description;
