First you must check whether file is exsist or not?

from these below methods:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>FILE_EXIST

Than get file attributes:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES

Than change name from method FILE_SET_ATTRIBUTES.

And if you are make sure of existance than you can change file name in one step

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_copy
      EXPORTING
        SOURCE               = l_newdoc_file"Old file name
        DESTINATION          = l_layout_file"New file name:give here same destinatation of old file name but name shoud be different,so it will rename it.
        overwrite            = true

Why not you are using CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_copy?As same way i suggested in my above reply.it will change programatically once you pass source and destination file path.

And for manually change from SAP by 2 click i'm not sure.
