No there is not.

You cannot save these changes.

The GRUB menu is generated by a program every time you run
`update-grub`. You can't change it because [1] it would make it too
easy for people to break their bootloader and [2] it would be
over-written next time anyway.

You can't edit these entries.

You can add your own manual entries on the end of the list if you
wish. I don't advise it because they won't get updated.

I don't know of a permanent way to change the descriptions that GRUB generates.
