How can I change the meta_key for a particular piece of information?

Solution:

I modified the line that says } else { add_post_meta( $message_id, '_participants', $message['message_to_id'] ); by changing _participants to _recipients, then also applied the new _recipients meta_key to where it displays on front-end.
