File permissions do not apply to root.  If you need to rename a system file, changing permissions is not required or recommended.  Just rename as root:
sudo mv oldname newname

Also not wise to rename system files, as it will surely break something (or many things).  Better idea is to create a symlink to the file:
sudo ln -s oldname newname
