At creation:
figure('NumberTitle', 'off', 'Name', 'This is the figure title');
After creation:
FigH = figure;
...
set(FigH, 'NumberTitle', 'off', ...
'Name', sprintf('Date: %s', datestr(now, 0)));
[EDITED]: 'NumerTitle' -> 'NumberTitle'

*Ranting*?! I'm *crying*. Currently I have to wait for 2 seconds after each keystroke. Irch #+*7&
@Liber-T: There might be a misunderstanding: What exactly do you mean by "title"? The title on top of the plots inside the figure, or the title of the Window?

Title can take any string. You can use [] and num2str to make a meaningful string that depends on the input to your function
x = 1:3
title(['This figure used x = ', num2str(x)])
In some cases you might want to use sprintf instead of num2str to get a little better control of the formatting.

plot
