Is it possible to change the name of a currently executing process in C# (or .NET in general)? I believe it isn’t possible, but my co-worker is trying to solve a problem under the assumption that it is.

No it is not possible to change the name of the currently executing process. Process names are defined by the name file which was loaded into the operating system for execution at the time execution began. You cannot change this at a later point. This is true for C#, managed and native code.
