Like this:

$gfconf = GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor::create();
$gfconf->removeComponentsByType('GridFieldAddNewButton');
$gfconf->addComponent(new GridFieldAddNewSiteTreeItemButton('toolbar-header-right'));
$gfconf->removeComponentsByType('GridFieldAddNewButton');
$gfconf->addComponent(new GridFieldEditSiteTreeItemButton());
