You will want to handle the GridView's EditFormPrepared event to modify the controls within your custom edit form. For instance:

    private void gvEmployees_EditFormPrepared(object sender, EditFormPreparedEventArgs e)
{
    EventHandler UpdateButton_Click = null;
    var updateButton = e.Panel.Controls.OfType<PanelControl>().FirstOrDefault().Controls.OfType<SimpleButton>().Select(x => x.Text == GridLocalizer.Active.GetLocalizedString(GridStringId.EditFormUpdateButton) ? x : null).FirstOrDefault();

    updateButton.Text = "My new button text";

    UpdateButton_Click = (s, eventarg) =>
    {
        //Your code here
    };

    updateButton.Click += UpdateButton_Click;
}
