Yes, but unfortunately that didn't work too. I have already tried the solution you provided. I could edit the tags and annotations but it won't change the file name in my file system. The file is still named as "dataset_43649.dat".
You *cannot* rename the file on disk (without bypassing Galaxy and editing the database and renaming the file directly). This is by design - unless you are an administrator debugging something or a tool author you don't need to know the actual filename on disk.
You *can* rename the description of the file as shown within the Galaxy interface (via edit attributes).
