Hi!
I would like to rename my existing workspace. Is there any way of doing
that?

Yes, you can just rename the workspace directory and/or move it. However, you then have to tell Eclipse where the new workspace is ...
In 3.1, you can use 'switch workspace' to launch in a different location (under the File menu). If you want to change it by hand, you can edit the appropriate entries in the files in the 'configuration' directory where Eclipse is stored.
You can change the org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file to set SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true if you want to be asked each time Eclipse is run where the workspace is.

You can also specify the workspace location through the -data switch on
the commandline.

When you do that, you'll want to search through the workspace to locate
any files that contain references to the old name and change them (if
possible). It is not uncommon for some absolute references to the
workspace location to creep into various places in its config files.
