I have 12.04, the initial user account name is google, then I changed the user name from google to linux. I move /home/google to /home/linuxand update the /etc/passwd file.

But now, when I click the shortcut in unity, say, the Downloads, then give me no such /home/google/Downloads directory since already renamed to /home/linux/Downloads

I can create the /home/google as symbol link to /home/linux, it's working, but I do want to change the directory/path the Downloads shortcut point to.

So, do you know how to change the property of the shortcut?

If you're talking about the quicklists of Unity launcher, you should take a look at How can I configure Unity? and search for "quicklists".

You will have all the informations you need to edit the quicklist of nautilus, so you can change the target of the "Downloads" shortcut.
