You can't rename creep. Usually it is easier to wait until it ages and die and born another one with the right name.
You can't access creep with '-' in the name that way (because it is minus operation sight in JavaScript), but you can do it like Game.creeps['B-0']
It is better not to use creep names in your logic. Use creep.memory instead.

thanks for the info @xoposhiy

also could you give me an example of using creep.memory that i'd love to learn!
i'm currently learning JS in code academy and applying what I learn here. I'm improving slowly but surely!

scratch that would this be an example
Memory.creeps."W0".role = 'harvester');

for(var name in Game.creeps){
  var creep = Game.creeps[name];
  if (creep.memory.role == 'harvester') { ... }
  else if (creep.memory.role == 'builder') { ... }
  ...
}
