There is this way for changing the description for a repository owned by an individual user.

However, I also control a GitHub organization account and when hovering over repositories that belong to the organization, there is no such button. How can I edit the description of such repos?

Same thing. you must own the repository or be in the owner team of your organization – CharlesB Mar 15 '13 at 14:32
I own a company repository and the button appears – iberbeu Mar 15 '13 at 15:04
@CharlesB I am in the owners of the organization. – GJ. Mar 15 '13 at 15:40
@iberbeu care to post a screenshot of how it appears? in which URL are you viewing the repos list? – GJ. Mar 15 '13 at 15:41
I cannot put it but the URL is like: `https://github.com/CompanyName/Project` and the place is just below the buttons 'Code', 'Network', 'Pull Requests',.... – iberbeu Mar 15 '13 at 15:42
