Trying to figure out what's wrong with this script. I think it has to do with the way the path is written?
tell application "Finder"
set name of file "/Users/gmpro/Desktop/xxx.png" to (weekday of (current date))
end tell
Thanks

This is primarily an issue of path style. You're passing in a POSIX path whereas the Finder deals with either Mac-style paths (colon-delimited) or its own file class.
Despite it being many years, the Finder still can't automatically coerce between them, so you have to do it:
tell application "Finder"
set f to POSIX file "/Users/gmpro/Desktop/xxx.html"
set name of file f to (weekday of (current date)) as text
end tell
(note that I've added 'as text' to the target filename - that's because 'weekday' is actually an enumeration and will result in something like 'mon', 'tue', etc. whereas coercing it to text gives you the full day name ('Monday', 'Tuesday', etc.)
As usual I have another issue and will post separately
set file name to weekday
