Currently this isnt going to be something you can automate, as even from CC the group name is a simple string vs a central REF'd object. Hence in CC you can change the group name from OBJS-->packetfilter-->packetfilter-->REF_c***xx but it won't save any time vs. doing it in webadmin most likely.
Its something we should change, I've made a note of that. You should be able to change/edit PF group names and even pick your desired group colors...
