For the first method, we will be using a plugin called Phoenix Media Rename that you can find here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/phoenix-media-rename/

Once activated, go to the Media section of your site and ensure it is in the list view. You can swap between grid and list view by using the two icons to the left of the search dropdowns and the list view will display the file names. Click edit next to the image you want to edit and WordPress should now have an editable field where you can change the name and the plugin will update the name change across your site.

For the second method we will use the plugin Enable Media Replace that you can find here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/

With the plugin active you can go to your Media section again and in the list view, there will be a link to replace media. When you click on the link you will be asked to choose the file on your computer you want to replace the media with. The plugin will give you the option to replace just the file or replace the file across your entire site and if you wanted to keep the date or change it at all.
