Yes, e.g.
foreach v of varlist A B C {
ren `v' `=lower("`v'")'
}
But for flexible manipulation of variable names (including changing case), look at the -renvars- package:
findit renvars

Subject: st: Rename from UPPER to lowercase
I would like to rename a lot of varname from UPPER to lower case
maintaining the same variable name.
Is it possible to use foreach?.
Thanks
