Foreign key you say? I think that for them updating sys.con$ should be
relatively safe, I don't believe that there is any other place
(contrarily to PK and UQ constraints) where the name appears and is
used. If I where you I would export with ROWS=N, reimport into a test
database, fiddle in the dictionary, export the result with ROWS=N again,
check with imp SHOW=Y that it looks like what you want, drop all FKs on
the prod database, and reimport on the prod with IGNORE=Y. Should keep
the risk of screwing up something to a minimum.
