Is there a way to rename a file except implementing copy and then deleting original file?

Technically, on FAT file systems yes.

To rename a file and leave it in the same directory, just change the file name part of its directory entry (or, if you are changing the LFN to be longer, you may need to move the directory entry to room for more LFN entries).

If you are moving the file to another directory, you can leave the file in place (as identified by its Starting Cluster) and move the directory entry to a new directory.

If you are moving the file to another volume then no, you have to copy and delete.

However, we do not currently expose an API for the above.
