If you are, as Jeff Donald suggests, talking about the defaults in certain apps, you can certainly change those. However, you can't remove Cupertino from the selection list any more than you can remove Paris or London or Toronto.

Huh? I'm with ckuan and would like to know where Cupertino appears on your iPhone? Cupertino, is, by the way, where Apple Headquarters is. But I cannot find anything on my iPhone which says Cupertino.
The box that an iPhone comes in probably says somewhere, in tiny print, 'Designed by Apple in Cupertino, CA" or words to that effect.
The world clock and weather apps and/or their widgets might have default entries for Cupertino, CA. Those can be deleted if present.

Tell me where did you find Cupertino on your iPhone?

Yes, new devices typically have Cupertino listed as default in Maps, Weather and Clock, maybe others as well.
