Answer 1

Running code is here.

private static void renameFile(File fileName) {

    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream =null;

    BufferedReader br = null;
    FileReader fr = null;

    String newFileName = "yourNewFileName"

    try {
        fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);

        fr = new FileReader(fileName);
        br = new BufferedReader(fr);

        String sCurrentLine;

        while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
            fileOutputStream.write(("\n"+sCurrentLine).getBytes());
        }

        fileOutputStream.flush();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            fileOutputStream.close();
            if (br != null)
                br.close();

            if (fr != null)
                fr.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
