I'm not 100% sure what you are exactly trying to do - if you are adding the
field names to a page that you are hard coding, ie typing the details into,
then you can use a find and replace found in most text editors. If you are
wanting to do this process on the fly, when you go to output the field name,
use PHP's str_replace function:
$name = str_replace("_", " ", $name);
(where $name is the variable containing the field name not the variable
containing the value of the field name.)
If you are looking for a list of all the field names, you can access the array
of $_POST variables.

Took me ages to get it right too... There is a regular expression alternative,
but the str_replace() function works well if you don't need to find and
replace complicated strings.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
