Nishant:
If you are using Stata 9, than -stphtest- is out of date and you can
better use -estat phtest-, but that does not answer your question. 

You can pile up almost any options you can use after -twoway- after 
-estat phtest, plot(varname)- (or -stphtest, plot(varname)-). In your
case you want to change the title on the y-axis, so you can add
ytitle("whatever"). This is illustrated in the example below.

As I understand it, the plot option just shows a scatter plot of scaled
Schoenfeld residuals against time with a lowess smooth fitted through
it. If I do that by hand my lowess smooth is a lot smoother than the
result from -estat phtest-, but the footnote indicates that the same
bandwidth is used. Does anybody have any ideas?
HTH,
Maarten

*---------- begin example --------
sysuse cancer, clear
stset studytime, failure(died)
xi: stcox i.drug age, schoenfeld(sch*) scaledsch(sc*)
lowess sc3 _t, ytitle("scaled Schoenfeld - age at interview") name(a)
stphtest, plot(age) ytitle("scaled Schoenfeld - age at interview")
estat phtest, plot(age) ytitle("scaled Schoenfeld - age at interview")
*---------- end example ----------
