First you need to tell windows to show the extention of file names.
Open a window (my computer is good) go to tools and folder options, click the view tab and remove the tick in the box next to hide extentions of know file types and click ok.

now you can just rename the file to what ever you want includeing changeing the extention, right click the file and click rename. just change the name.

Now the bit that can cause you problems are you sure the file is the game and it just has the wrong extention? some come as a rar/zip and use compresion renameing a rar file wont make it work you need to extract the files then transfer to your mobile.

changing the file name might not make it work on your phone anyway
