And how can I change it for my data_### folder, so I don't have to manually change the addme.script every time?

Munge a new data folder with the new three-character code you want, and then transfer over the necessary source files from the old folder.

The only other option I can think of is to go through all of the batch files and folders and manually rename all instances of the old code to the new one. Editing the addme.script method is good in the short-run if, say, you were to release your map/mod right afterwards. But if you're going to continue to make changes to your map/mod without the hassle of editing the addme.script every time, munging a new data folder is preferably the way to go, in my opinion. It all comes down to preference really.
