Are we talking about just 'renaming' the Component object itself, as found in that particular Assembly, and NOT actually renaming the Master Part file that the Component was created from?
If so, simply select the Component of interest, either from the screen or the Assembly Navigator, press MB3 and select the 'Properties' option. Then select the 'General' tab and there you will find a field to replace the default 'Name' of the Component with whatever you wish.

Thank you Mr. John, I was thinking about how to rename master model part file in the assembly navigator tree.
