Yes - but you have to change the INTERNAL font names, not just the 
external FILE name, which except for the extension (if Windows) 
carries no meaning. In general, it takes a font editor such as FontLab 
or Fontographer. You can use FontCreator to change the fontnames for 
truetype fonts only. It has a free trial available.

If it's a member of a family, with bold, italic, etc. variants, you'd 
need to change all members of the family and keep the relationships 
intact.
