You posted in main query as you were using BE 2012 and asking how to change B2D path.
Starting from BE 2012 there is only Disk Storage. And there is a limitation like, you can have only one such thing per volume.
EDIT: I have preconfigured B2D to: D:\BEData
Not to D:\BEData but just to D:\
BE will create BEData when you create disk storage. Because of one disk storage per Volume limitation, it seems like you would need to follow a two step process. Change the path to a drive other than D:\ first, then agai to D:\Backup Exec as intended. Quite long process!

Follow the procedure mentioned in this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74385

You can only rename the logical name within the BE Admin console and change the path by drive letter (using info given by Kiran). The folder itself within the drive has to be called bedata and be located on the root, that path cannot be changed.
Also be aware that in BE 2012 you can only have one disk storage device per volume unlike previous versions

No You cannot customize the path X:\BEDATA is the fixed location.
