Changing photo file formats-Making JPG lower case

I am new to the Mac OS and I run OS X 10.5.1 . I am having trouble uploading pics to myspace that have been transfered from my Canon PowerShot A420 camera. When the pics are taken they are saved in jpg. format but the jpg. is actually all caps (JPG). Myspace is saying the file is not recognized. I have also taken pics with Photo Booth and those are also saved in jpg. format and the jpg. is all lower case (jpg.) and those are easily uploaded to myspace. How can I change the JPG to become lower case.

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

All you have to do is change the filename. You can right click on the file and choose Get Info and change it in there, or you can simply click on the name once and then again to see it highlighted, at which point you can just change the .JPG to .jpg. That is, if you're showing extensions. If not, go to Finder>Preferences, click on Advanced, and check the box to show extensions.

thank you for your info. it served me well and i did change the file name and made the jpg lower case. However, i still cannot upload the photo to myspace. the error message i get from myspace says "a file you selected is not supported". The pic i am trying to upload is from my canon camera. Do you think the problem is on the camera's end. your help is greatly appreciated.
