 Changing the 'From:' field is easy, just open the Message-Compose Dialog and move the cursor over the 'From:-field. You will notice, that the cursor-shape changes. If it's an arrow, you can use the drop down-menu to select any stored identity. If you are moving the cursor over the senders name, it changes to the editor-shape, click and you can change the senders name. To indicate that you are now using a Virtual Identity the color of the entry will change to red and the Status-Bar will indicate that virtual identity is activated.
