Yes.

No.

Here it is: To rename a resource, renumber a resource, or change any
of its attributes, use the Get Info feature.  *Select* the resource in
question by clicking on it *once* (don't open it by clicking on it
twice), and choose Get Info (command-I) to open a dialog which lets
you edit all of these things.  It even has special features to help
you set resource numbers for owned resources.  (Not applicable here,
but a big help for people who write DA's.)  Get Info can also be used
to view and edit the attributes of folders and files.
