You could read it and save it with a different name.

Did not find a "rename", but a combination of cl_gui_frontend_services->file_copy and cl_gui_frontend_services->file_delete should do it.

check all the methods from cl_gui_fronnd_services related to file. i guess you can easily find a walkthrough of the solution.

There is no Rename option in CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. Instead, you can copy and delete the existing file.
