Not an expert, but I don't think you can put custom text into the
"Version:" field, but you can omit it and put custom text into a
"Comment:" field:

    $ echo | gpg --armor --encrypt --recip z --trust-model always
                 --comment 'hi there' --no-emit-version
    -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
    Comment: hi there
