How do you change a map in Minecraft?
To upgrade the size of you map, you need to upgrade your map from Level 0 to Level 1. To do this, add the Level 0 map and 8 more paper to the 3×3 crafting grid. The newly crafted map will now be upgraded to a Level 1 map which is larger than the previous. When you open this map, it won’t be completely filled in.

How to change the name of a map in Minecraft?
Rename the file of the new map to the name of the old map and the file of the old map to the name of the file of the new map. Your computer probably won’t let you give the same name to two files, so come up with something in between such as “Map_4_a” and then delete the ending after you’ve renamed the other one. Log back in to Minecraft.
