Er... I didn't even know a "replace" resource type existed. Where does it

There's no easy way to rename a file AFAIK.
You can use something like this but it's far from ideal (and OS dependent
of course):
exec { '/bin/mv /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf_false':
creates => '/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf_false',
}
->
file { '/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf':
ensure => absent,
}
Regarding modifying content, you can have a look at the augeas resource
type. You need to have Augeas installed on the machine, but if the files to
be modified have some standard format then you might be lucky because you
can do your edits without much effort.
