there is no function that i know of, but you can do it with a system call - as for renaming it with a number - use a variable that you increment and then use that as the filename (use a pointer to it)
if you have an uncertain number of ilfes to rename you can use a while loop

rename
Syntax:
#include <stdio.h>
int rename( const char *oldfname, const char *newfname );
The function rename() changes the name of the file oldfname to newfname. The return value of rename() is zero upon success, non-zero on error.

Hope that helps
Open the file, read it into the new as if you were reading the lines into strings in your program, then delete the old one.
