Hi @charry, there are at least two ways.
1. Create new attribute, remove old attribute.
def renameExample(feature):
v = feature.getAttribute('oldName')
feature.setAttribute('newName', v)
feature.removeAttribute('oldName')
2. Rename attribute using the FME function @RenameAttributes
def renameExample2(feature):
feature.performFunction('@RenameAttributes(newName,oldName)')

firstly check if you have set the Class or Function to Process Features parameter appropriately.

First time use PythonCaller, can you provide some detailed operations?thanks

No, the @RenameAttributes function is an FME function (not Python), and the document you link describes FME functions.

There are excellent tutorials on Python and FME basics, I'd recommend you to start learning from here.

Alternatively you can use the AttributeManager transformer or the AttributeRenamer transformer, if you just need to rename attributes.
Of course it's good to learn Python, but it would take time.
