In Mp3tag you cannot assign some user defined field name to existing standard tag-field.  
You are free to create tag-fields with names of your wish.  
In Mp3tag list view you can insert or modify columns for these new tag-fields.  
In Mp3tag tag panel you may add edit dialogs for these tag-fields.  
If you want to see the content from such user defined tag-fields in other applications, then probably you have to fill tag-fields, which are well known common standard.  
As usual ... you can open the property dialog of a column header using the secondary mouse click ... and see what's going on there.
