Well, once you have a file or alias, this will work:
tell application "System Events" to set name of myFile to newName
But it looks like you have a string instead of a file or alias. If it's a
Macintosh path, you can just use
set myFile to (file pathName)
if it's a POSIX path, you can use
set myFile to (POSIX file pathName)
