Create a new table of the same structure, and pump the data into it. The
IB_SQL tool from www.ibobjects.com has a good datapump utility.

Basically, renaming objects is not an operation you can do with standard
SQL. The reason, of course, is that the metadata are keyed on the object
names and there are dependencies (obvious and less obvious) which could
break. A very experienced developer might attempt to update the system
objects directly but, more than likely, she would not, preferring to take
the safer, correct route.
