Stop the networking service, remove the eth0 card, and start the network service again. This should make the device previously known as eth1 eth0. If not you may have to set up aliasing using /etc/modprobe.conf.

But removing a PC component when the system is running is a very, very bad idea. You can damage your hardware and if you're unlucky you could hurt yourself.
