When you double-click the layer, a dialog appears asking you set a few basic layer options, such as name. Usually, you can just click OK (or hit enter) because the defaults are good enough for general use.
I'm not sure what you mean about renaming it, though. This is a color mode issue. The only way to rename it is to change the color mode first, which will rename it automatically anyway (usually to 'Background'). You can still change the name back to index if you want, it doesn't affect the functionality.
dont get me wrong, double cliking and then enter will work just fine. Usually in photoshop, the image openned is usually set as a background which locks it. In this case, the background is index since it is in CMYK mode. I usually just rename it but that's just me.
