More precisely, what would you like to do?

The headers are set by the functions odd-page-text and even-page-text.
They are applied by the sectioning macros. odd-page-text is applied
with the 'Section N' text, and even-page-text is applied by the
section title text. That is coded in the section macros and not easily
customizable (but that is still possible).

What would you like to do?

That is explained in
Help->Manual->Summary of the principal TeXmacs tags 
in subsection 3.1 (standard headers).

Create a package (that is TeXmacs document whose name ends in .ts and
whose document style is 'none') which contains redefinition of those
functions. You can get the initial definitions in the header-article
file.

The alternate definition I gave to Offray were

(document
"Do not display the page number in the header (modified from
header-article.ts)"
(assign "odd-page-text" (func "s"
  (assign "odd page header"
    (with "font size" "0.84" (concat
      (format "no first indentation")
      (htab "5mm")
      (with "font shape" "small-caps" (apply "s")))))))
(assign "even-page-text" (func "s"
  (assign "even page header"
    (with "font size" "0.84" (concat
      (format "no first indentation")
      (with "font shape" "small-caps" (apply "s"))
      (htab "5mm")))))))

You can paste this with "Edit->Paste from->Scheme".

Also, do not be afraid to experiment by putting experimental package
snippets directly in your document. Another nice feature is that when
saving a package which is used by document X, document X is
automatically updated.

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
