Sidenote: This is with .jpg files. I changed "FILE%03i" to "FILE%03i.jpg", so the two files came out: FILE002.jpg and FILE003.jpg. None of the other file names changed.
I think you have spaces in your filenames, which my script didn't handle. It's simple to fix by putting double-quotes around filenames....
Code:
c=0
for i in *.jpg
do 
   test -f "$i" &&\
   mv "$i" $(printf "FILE%03i.jpg" $c) &&\
   ((c+=1))
done
