I'd like to know if I can change the screen refresh rate in the game. I play in 800x600 and because of the low refresh rate, my CRT screen starts shaking and bothers me quite a lot.

if you have an Nvidia card, you can force the game to take a certain refresh rate in your Nvidia analogue display settings.

If you're not forcing your refreshrate in some way, you can also probably use: r_displayrefresh to set a refreshrate in Quake 3.

Can I set this directly in the Generations autoexec.cfg file? Or can I put this in the shortcut?

By putting +set r_displayrefresh 100 in the icon I managed to remove the shaking. Thanks guys.

No problem.  You can also take a look at:

com_maxfps - maximum frames per second, usually you want to sync that to your display refresh rate.
r_swapinterval (sync every frame option in the menu) - synchronizes the refreshes with the display to eliminate visual "tearing" when set to "1".
cg_drawfps - shows your actual framerate when set to "1"/

Bear in mind you get better physics behavior with a com_maxfps of 125, but your display has to support a refresh at or higher than 125 frames per second to do this.  My screen supports a 140Hz refresh at 800x600, so I can do that.  At 1024x768 my screen will only go up to 100Hz, which is part of the reason I don't play at that resolution - that and I like eye candy, and I get framerate drop if I go up that high courtesy of my old, slow video card when it's turned on.
