Well, it depends how you are getting the item.

If you are getting it via the URL like this: 

/_api/lists/getbytitle('News')/items(50)

Where the number in the brackets "(50)" is the item ID you can get an item e.G. like this:

/_api/lists/getbytitle('News')/items?$filter=Title eq 'FAQ'

So the URL is looking for an item, where in the title column FAQ is the content.

In general:

/_api/lists/getbytitle('<ListName>')/items?$filter=<InternalColumnName> eq '<Value>'

To check the internal column names you can just use this:

/_api/lists/getbytitle('<ListName>')/items

Then use that name for the in the filter.

Hope this could help.

    As Patrick mentions in his answer, you need to do two REST calls. First to get the ID of the item, then to update.
