Usenet "threads" do not have a subject as this is a property of each
individual post.
Some clients may use the subject to arrange posts for viewing, but this
behaviour is optional, as posts should already contain direct references to
each of the posts above them in the thread which can be used by clients to
construct thread trees. (Check the "References:" header of this reply and
you should see it references your post by you're posts unique id
<0fe6p7dajc370k132...@4ax.com>.)
Also individual posts can't be renamed once they are posted. I think there
is a "withdraw post" provision in the protocol, which is implemented by some
servers and ignored by others (so it is unreliable), but that's the closest
I can think to performing a rename: withdraw the post and send it out again
with a new subject.
On my client, renamed posts still appear under the original thread, and it
seems silly that Google Groups would allow a child post to rename the entire
thread in which it appears, but who knows (or cares!) what Google Groups
does?

I care because it makes filtering out the spam posts much easier...

Why not use a reasonable news reader, which can filter?

So the answer is: No, it can't! (Except maybe for google groups' local
webpage view, but who cares for google groups? :) )
