There is e.g. a way using the mq extension. IIRR (untested, and
assumes you have no other patches under mq control):

# place the patch under mq control
hg qimport -r <revision_with_the_patch>

# next lets you edit the commit message
hg qrefresh -e

# release the patch (all patches) from mq control
hg qfinish -a
