Hope you're not allergic to command-line tools!

more specifically:

to get the track ID: mkvmerge -i FILE

you will get something like

code:File 'MOVIE.mkv': container: Matroska
Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC)
Track ID 2: audio (A_AC3)
Track ID 3: subtitles (S_TEXT/UTF8)

then

mkvextract tracks FILE 2:OUTPUT.ac3

then use mkvmerge to insert the new audio we created above

mkvmerge -v -o OUTPUT.mkv INPUT -a 0 ENGLISH.ac3

Output will be the newly named and english copy. Input is the file you are inserting it to. It will have to make a new copy.

Its early and I just woke up so this might b wrong. Theres a few GUIs for mkvtools in windows also.

Thanks guys i tried a win based program gui but it did it quickly but when i play back the film and you scroll across it pixels so may have to do command prompt, may try playing it with another player and see for sure but not looking great, the file was 7.89 gig now it's 7.60 so not as big as saving as i had hoped for
