I have a registered app for a login for my website and therefore also a Client ID and a Client Secret.

I also have a chat bot running, which works great on IRC. This bot is a different channel and is also a moderator there and I got the Oauth token from this bot via the “Twitch Chat OAuth Password Generator”.

How can I change the channel title and game with this data?

First don’t use someones else token generator.  
You should create your own Client ID and manage your own keys

Second, to update a channels title and game you will need an authentication key from the broadcaster as documented here

You will need a key from `broadcaster_id` with the `user:edit:broadcast` applied

So you wouldn’t authenticate as the bot you would authenticate as the streamer.
