Within limits, you can change it with the ServerTokens directive in the
configuration.  To get the bare minimum (just "Apache"), use

ServerTokens Prod

You might also set

ServerSignature Off

Which prevents Apache from putting its version at the end of any pages it
generates itself (missing page errors, directory listings, etc.).
