Another possible solution:
f = dir('*.csv');
for kk = 1:numel(f)
fileFrom = f(kk).name;
fileTo = ['data',erase(f(kk).name,'0.csv'),'.csv'];
movefile(fileFrom,fileTo);
end

Adapting the example from the documentation of using that contribution:
D = 'C:\Test';
S = dir(fullfile(D,'*.csv'));
N = natsortfiles({S.name});
for k = 1:numel(N)
sourcefile = fullfile(D, N{k});
destfile = fullfile(D, sprintf('data%d.csv', k));
movefile(sourcefile, destfile);
end
