change process name


I have some processes in my system that is already dead ( that means it is not running and still keep the process name in the system ) , I tried to use kill -9 but still can't kill it .

#ps -ef |grep ora
root 18013 1 0 Nov25 ? 00:00:01 ora_pri


As above , ora_pri is the process name that keep on the system but is not running .

Now , too name same process name makes our system calculation error , so I would like to change the process name to another name ( eg. change it to dummy_process )
can advise is it possible to change the process name ?

thx
